#1 The whole place is one big prison. Come June, the inmates outside of the "480 prisons" wont be eating any better than the inmates inside.

#2 As per TOPIX + PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > EX-POTUS Jimbo Carter warns that NORTH KOREA will not give up its Nucprogs unless it gets some kind of SECURITY GUARANTEE from the US.

Becuz aparently the US NOT attacking NOKOR after 58 years [end of 1950-53 Korean War]isn't enough for Kimmie + Boyz.

Methinks Kimmie is after much more than meets the eye.

#4 ION TOPIX, DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > A POSSIBLE US RETURN TO THE PHILIPPINES?

Subic Bay.

IMO Artic read, FUKUSHIMA = LOSS OF JAPAN DUE TO RADIATION-LED ENVIRO DESTRUCTION; + LOSS OF TAIWAN DUE TO RE-UNIFICATION WID MAINLAND CHINA.

* OTOH TAIWAN BLOG = Any formal reunification of Taiwan + mainland China will not preclude or prevent China from politically, militarily defending its claims of sovereignty oer various Pacific islands + lands e.g. the SENKAKUS [China = Daoyus], OR OKINAWA [Ryukyu vassal kingdom], NOR EVEN AS PER GEOPOL DOMINATION OF JAPAN PROPER.

FYI, the PHILIPPINES = NORTHERN HALF OF SAME was + remains well-known in the USDOD as a likely target for CPLA attack + conquest in case of US-China or other major Regional war [Manila Bay, Subic Bay, Airfields, large Chinese minority].

#5 I wonder if the people inside eat any better than those on the outside?

S'pose people are "dying" to get in?

#6 Read the article - the inmates are not provided food but have to grow their own. Torture, rape, and other abuse are commonplace.

It's almost as if the Norks are bucking for a spot on the U.N. Human Rights Comission or something.
