Heightened Vigilance against Reactionary Ideologic and Cultural Penetration
2004-08-06
Looks like they're into the White Slag again...
The world people should heighten vigilance against all manner of reactionary ideological and cultural infiltration of the U.S. imperialists and the international reactionary forces and put up a stiff fight against it, says Rodong Sinmun Thursday in a signed article. It goes on:
They are becoming all the more crafty and tenacious in their moves to paralyze the sound thinking and consciousness of the popular masses and reduce them to ignorant and benighted men and mental cripples blindly obedient to the given circumstances and destiny. One of their methods is to widely spread superstition.
Oooggga-Booga-Booga!!!
At their instigation and with their patronage and support, the shady elements slyly manipulate those caught in the noose of superstition to commit anti-state and counter-revolutionary acts. Today superstition is a major means and a leverage of the U.S.-led international reactionary forces for reactionary ideological and cultural penetration and through this they are seeking to break the people's consciousness for independence and their anti-imperialist, anti-U.S. fighting spirit and attain the aim of aggression and war with ease.
Superstition? Is that the same as "allurement"?
Mammonism and the bourgeois way of life are dangerous poisons nibbling at society and man.
Mammonism?
The U.S. imperialists and the reactionaries are infiltrating into the international community mammonism prevailing in capitalist society to egg the people on to commit all crimes such as murder and robbery, ignoring public morality and order for the sake of wealth, blinded with love of money and gain. And they are leaving no means untried to disseminate the bourgeois way of life in other countries. In their virulent infiltration campaign they utilize such literary and art works as film, drama and song and such media as newspaper, TV and journal.
Unleash the Mammonism bomb!
The U.S. imperialists are these days maliciously trying to intensify superstition and psychological operations targeted against the DPRK. The spread of superstition, mammonism and the bourgeois way of life, the dangerous poisons destroying human soul and body and creating disorder and confusion in society, must not be allowed.
What the hell was that all about???

#10  It's 70s funk-groove time in North Korea:

Very superstitious, in the D-P-R-K,
Very superstitious, Rodong Sinmun's had his say,
Worship the Dear Leader, reduced to eatin' grass,
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past

When you believe in Juche then you don't understand why you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way, hey, hey, hey . . .

#8  I'll give it a 5.3 -- and that for simply not making any sense.....

Plus no Sea of Fire, and no Dear Leader...

From Dictionary.com:

Mammonism

Mam"mon*ism, n. Devotion to the pursuit of wealth; worldliness. --Carlyle.

Sounds like he's seen Shanghai and didn't like it.

#6  N Guard-

I don't know, I'd give them an 8.5 on this one for 'mammonism' alone, and three times at that, and in context to boot. I'd have gone to an 8.75, but 'ignorant and benighted men and mental cripples blindly obedient to the given circumstances and destiny'...it's kinda clunky.

He does resemble that remark, doesn't he?

#4  Hmm...no sea of fire...Mammonism, now thats got possibilites. Plenty of spittle, but I can't see what set him off. Nice form, though. A good finish, and an excelent dismount.

7.9, the deduction for not using sea of fire or clearly stating what set him off being 1.5
