| Crying Kim Jong-un Tasks North Korean Women with ‘Stopping the Declining Birth Rate' |
| 2023-12-06 |
| [Breitbart] Communist dictator Kim Jong-un cried while delivering remarks this week to North Korea’s “national conference of mothers,” urging women across the country to help with “stopping the declining birth rate” and reminding mothers of their government requirement to “become communist.” “First of all, mothers themselves should become communist mothers who have noble and beautiful moral qualities,” Kim said in an address to the “conference of mothers” on Tuesday. “Unless a mother becomes a communist, it is impossible for her to bring up her sons and daughters as communists and transform the members of her family into revolutionaries.” The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), the flagship propaganda outlet of the communist Kim regime, published two separate speeches by Kim at the conference, one on Sunday and one on Tuesday. Both emphasized that the impoverished, brutal authoritarian regime required mothers to indoctrinate their children into communism and women generally to have many children. Kim’s remarks acknowledging a decreasing birth rate made headlines in South Korea, as the secretive regime often ignores its many internal problems and instead focuses on demonizing South Korea and America. Kim’s appearance at the conference was also notable as state media aired footage of Kim crying while addressing the mothers. North Korea is believed to have one of the lowest fertility rates in the world, hovering around 1.8 children per woman. The average believed to be necessary for “replacement fertility,” or the creation of enough babies to maintain a stable population, is 2.1 children per woman. The world’s lowest fertility rate, however, belongs to South Korea, where government statistics showed that the birth rate stood at around 0.70 in the past quarter, a record low. |

| #3 Back in the early 1990s, I was told by a Samsung executive wife that in addition to an engagement ring, the man had to gift his future wife with three sets of jewelry — gold, silver (or white gold or platinum), and pearls — presumably so she would start married life with suitable accessories. Possibly wives of less ambitious men were/are less expensive to marry, but that’s still a big expense for a young man at the early stage of his career. |
