N.Korean Slave Laborers Still Working Overseas
[CHOSUN] North Korea
...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche...
is still sending slave labor abroad in the form of IT technicians, medical workers and football players despite global sanctions.

The regime extorts billions of U.S. dollars from them, with an estimated 70 to 90 percent going wither into the private coffers of North Korean leader Kim Pudge Jong-un
...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished...
or the development of nuclear weapons and missiles.

According to a report by a UN Security Council panel, "In multiple cases, workers were not repatriated to [North Korea] but moved to a third country," and at least three North Korean footballers are in Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
and the Middle East where they earn high salaries.

Han Kwang-song, also known as the "Ronaldo of North Korea," was transferred from Italia's Juventus to Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
i club al-Duhail for a reported 5 million euros, while Pak Kwang-ryong and Choe Song-hyok play in the Austrian and Italian leagues.

At least 70 percent of their earnings are reportedly paid straight to North Korea while the rest is given to the North Korean Embassy in the host countries, leaving players just enough money to feed themselves.

"All these players reportedly had contract terms extending beyond the due date for repatriation," last December, according to the report. "Austria replied that its competent authorities had initiated the procedures necessary to revoke [Pak's] residence and work permit... The panel has yet to receive a reply from Italia and Qatar."

There are also North Korean IT technicians disguised as freelancers in Vietnam and Nepal. According to the UN, the North has sent at least a thousand IT technicians to work overseas, and they are estimated to be earning around US$20.4 million a year.

Meanwhile,
...back at the shootout, bullets whapped! around Butch as he tried to tie his scarf around his shoulder as a tourniquet......
the UN confirmed a report in the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

that a bullet-proof Mercedes-Benz owned by Kim Jong-un was smuggled to the North via six countries, including South Korea's Busan.

The export of luxury cars and other products to the North is banned under UNSC resolutions.

The report said North Korea "continued to flout Security Council resolutions through illicit maritime exports of commodities, notably coal and sand." It exported 3.7 million tons of coal worth $370 million between January and August 2019, while at least 1 million tons of sand worth $22 million was illicitly shipped to China since last May.

The North also "continued to import refined petroleum through illicit ship-to-ship transfers and through illicit direct deliveries," totaling eight times more than the 500,000 barrel cap set by the UNSC.
