K-pop artist Ali singing Arirang on top of Mt. Baekdu surrounded by Moon, KJU and hikers. She's singing a modified version called "Jindo Arirang," which despite the name Jindo (as in canines) is really representative of the greater Joella region
Samsung's Lee Jae-yong and football great Cha Bum-keun clapping. Not the best acoustics on a windy mountain top. Ali is known for R&B and folk genre singles, not really band plays. That's why Jindo Arirang is right up her alley, excuse the pun
When Ali finishes, Park Ji-won (dark glasses) walks up to her and says, "I'm originally from Jindo." Well, what a surprise. He represents Mokpo, right above Jindo. Park used to be Chief of Staff to KDJ who's from another Joella island 10 miles NW of Jindo

So what's the point of this thread? Beware of those hailing from remote fishing villages of South Joella islands (LOL). Now people realize why smelly skate fish harvested by fishermen from those Joella islands is used to denigrate the whole region

Donga reports an economic delegation composed of representatives of US agricultural & German mining businesses visited NK in late Sept. The German concern is interested in NK's magnesite/graphite reserves and US agro biz looked at investment opportunity
news.donga.com/List/PoliticsN…
The timing of this was late Sept when Pompeo's 4th visit had been decided and US-NK dialogue was ongoing. NK treated this economic delegation well. The US concern is supposedly the largest one that sells agro & animal protein prods (Cargill, Tyson Foods?)
sedaily.com/NewsView/1S5Y4…
Front page news in SK courtesy of Donga. NK is known to have rather large mineral reserves other than just coal: copper, lead, iron ore, tungsten plus rare earth/rare metal elements like molybdenum. SK estimates it's worth $3.6 trillion (on the low side) imnews.imbc.com/replay/2018/nw…

Foreign Minister Kang in another mini-controversy after Japan's Nihon-Kezai reports SoS Pompeo "blew up on her" after learning about the military agreement signed by SK and NK at the Pyongyang summit. N-K quotes Pompeo, "What do you think you're doing?"
news.joins.com/article/230344…
N-K: "There was no prior discussion about the nature of the military agreement SK struck with NK." Pompeo was said to be particularly upset about the 'no fly zone' established within proximity of MDL. US reconnaissance planes regularly fly near the area for surveillance of NK
Kang pretty much acknowledged something like that happened when asked about it at the National Assembly: "I wouldn't characterize it as 'furious' or 'blew up' but there was dissatisfaction re not being fully informed. So yes, I was asked a lot of questions"

Japan declines to attend a naval event in Jeju after repeated calls by SK not to arrive with its Rising Sun Flag symbolizing Imperial Japan. However the real reason why it chose not to attend is more intricate.
koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20…
What happened is SK kept telling Japan's Embassy and Defense Minister that only the national flag should be flown. But Japan insisted it will come bearing the Rising Sun Flag. Then apparently SK NSA Chung and new Defense Minister Jung came up with a ploy
english.yonhapnews.co.kr/national/2018/…
They leaked news that the lead vessel of the host country may switch to ROKS Dokdo, which is the largest SK navy vessel. Dokdo is an island but also the name of this LPH-class amphibious vessel with a platform that can launch helis, Ospreys and even VTOLs

In #Köln hat eben die @KVBAG mit Hilfe von Polizei+Notarzt(!) einen Obdachlosen aus der U-Bahn-Haltestelle geworfen - mit der eifrig und laut vorgetragenen Begründung, er hätte "alles an ansteckenden Krankheiten, was Sie sich vorstellen können" und daher Hausverbot. #unten thread
Der Rettungsdienst wurde offenbar von den 5-6 Polizeibeamten angerufen, die neben einigen KVB-Bediensteten um den Obdachlosen herum standen und vorher wohl behauptet hatten, der Obdachlose sei nicht ansprechbar. Auf Ansprache des Notarztes reagiert er jedoch direkt. #unten
Daneben steht ein KVB-Mann, der das Geschehen immer wieder lautstark mot den Worten "Der Mann hat bei uns Hausverbot" kommentiert. Er dürfe auch in keine Bahn steigen. Einer der Ärzte ermutigt den Obdachlosen, die Station zu verlassen: Es sei schönes Wetter und gute Luft. #unten

#Köthen: Der Verstorbene hat einen Schlag ins Gesicht (an der Lippe feststellbar) bekommen, ging danach zu Boden und verstarb an einem #Herzinfarkt. Rechtsmedizin hat keinen Hinweis auf Tritte, sonstige Schläge, Messerstiche.

PK zur Tathergang auf @ntvde jetzt.
Im Netz verbreitete Audio-Datei mit angeblichem "Totschlagen" von der Zeugin selbst gegenüber Polizei weitgehend relativiert.

Nicht, dass das für die Hetzer, Neonazis oder #AfD eine Rolle spielen würde.

#Köthen
Schwere Herzkrankheit des Verstorbenen seit Geburt, mehrere Herzoperationen danach, versagensbereites Herz durch das es jederzeit zu einem Herzinfarkt kommen konnte.

Ob jemand strafrechtlich verantwortlich ist für den Herzinfarkt, ist im Ermittlungsverfahren.

"Baekdu Lineage: Understanding and Misunderstanding"
In this article, RoK-based Professor Kim Gwang-su uses DPRK primary sources to destroy Western propaganda re the DPRK concept of the Baekdu lineage, which is often mistranslated as "Baekdu bloodline." tongilnews.com/news/articleVi…
Prof Kim begins the article by dispelling the imperialist propaganda myth that the DPRK concept of the Baekdu lineage is a biological concept that deals with the bloodline of Kim Il Sung.
According to Prof Kim, the Baekdu lineage is a political lineage comprising revolutionary comradeship that descends from DPRK's revolutionary tradition that began during the armed struggle against Japanese imperialism. One could just as easily call it the Juche lineage.

Wieder einmal demonstriert ein feministischer #Betamale und #Alphakevin, wie dämlich linksgrüne #Gutmenschen wirklich sind und wie wenig sie davon verstehen, was #Rassismus wirklich ist. Ich werde das mal Punkt für Punkt abarbeiten. #metwo

Danke, ganz gut eigentlich. Ist in #Deutschland ja auch nicht so schwierig, wenn man einsieht, dass man die Stunden des Tages nur jeweils einmal nutzen kann und sich im Leben entscheiden muss, was einem wichtig ist.

#metwo

Ich werde normalerweise einfach Alman / Kartoffel genannt, ohne vorher gefragt zu werden. Die Frage vor der rassistischen Beschimpfung wäre für mich schon ein echter #Fortschritt. Stört es Dich eigentlich, wenn ich Dich linksgrünen Naivling nenne?
