Worse and Worse In Norkiland
As usual, I was looking for stuff to provide a snarky view of ND:tBF’s malfeasance toward his own people. When this WaPo article came up first on my search block, I read it, blinked, reread it, and asked out loud “What in the hell is wrong with that fat basterd?”
Before you read it, there are a few things from history’s locker that you should know.
The Romans had a great plumbing system, didn’t they? Yes, they kind of did. But in the digs at Pompeii and other places, including Nero’s Golden Palace (built on the Roman slums that he burned), the sewage went down a hole and stayed there until some poor soul with cacatorium duty went down into the plumbing system and moved it along. (Shovel the shit or suffer the whip.) There were, in fact, commodes in the kitchen in some houses in Pompeii.
The Romans were infested with parasites such as whipworm, usually picked up from the public cacatoria where everyone used a common sponge to wipe their butts. They were great engineers, but they had no idea how to make toilet paper (or if you prefer, bath tissue). They also had a love of garum, a fermented fish sauce made from uncooked fish. Any parasites the fish had picked up, such as fish tapeworm, were transmitted to the consumer, because cooking killed the parasites. And despite their culture and love of regular bathing, external parasites such as lice and fleas infested the Romans just as much as they did the Vikings and other European populations, right on up through the Middle Ages. The hemorrhagic fever that nearly wiped out the population of Athens in 430BC was probably brought in from northern Africa (Ethiopia) by people infested with either of those insects.
You would think that in this modern world, where vermifuges are available for every critter on Earth, including people where and when needed, this would be a thing of the past, wouldn’t you?
Well, not if you live in a country with a ruler so demented that his only goal is to piss off a perceived enemy that can pound him into the ground head first. He is nothing like his Daddy or his Granddaddy. They were better managers, even if they were Commie crapweasels. They might have stiffed the general population, but they didn’t do that to their military.
It’s more important now for Fatty Kim da T’ird to try to blow up a mountain and threaten to annihilate some other country than it is to keep his people, including his military, fed properly and healthy. If he really wants to wage war, he will lose, and lose badly. You could probably defeat the Nork military by throwing poptop cans of cat food at them.
Here’s the link to the WaPo article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/11/19/what-the-parasites-in-a-defectors-stomach-tell-us-about-north-korea/?utm_term=.f13d2a26487f
There are stray cats in my neighborhood that are healthier and better fed.
That Fat Basterd needs to pay for this, right through his fat ass.
Category: North Korea
Throwing cat food? That is SO District 9!
The Prawns loooveee cat food.
Too bad we never got a sequel.
You don’t consider Chappie the spiritual sequel? Lol
Turn the Basterd into bass turds, perhaps?
What do you have against bass?
I read an interesting idea the other day- park a comms bird in geosynchronous orbit over The Hermit Kingdom, and then drop about 20 million cell phones over the country and let nature take its course.
Give them all oblowme phones and the littledicknorkdork will cease to exist in about 3 weeks…
This will not end well for Fatty the T’rd. Or those that support him.
Unfortunately, the average-joe Norks have to suffer as well – and more.
The big problem I foresee is that when the Hermit Kingdom does die, the economic drain entailed to just bring the citizenry up to basic slum-level living will be dramatic.
Worse than the problems faced by Germany after reunification, IMHO.
Nah. Free market capitalism will take care of it in a zilch.
A demand for goods and services is an opportunity for grow and prosperity, if only a Free Market system gets the chance to play in that game.
Not necessarily. The Norks have a whole shitload of natural resources available. Sell them off to the highest bidder – be sure not to leave money on the table – and the next thing you know, United Korea is rich AF, even after bringing the Norks up to the same standards of living we see in Seoul.
Point – but after German Reunification, I’s still a bit cautious.
The former German “Democratic” Republic also had resources, farmland, etc. But it was infested with Socialists, Communists, Progressives, and other economy-destroying parasites.
So the “westies” could not simply develop their new “eastie” neighbors. First, they had to undo decades of collectivist economic ruin. But they also had to deal with a sudden massive infection of collectivist stupidity that pretty held back most real economic progress. They are still dealing with that mess.
North Korea is in even worse shape, with even -less- understanding of how to live free. They are also largely on the ragged edge of starvation due to collectivist insanity.
Any war or other event that disrupts the Nork government is almost certain to produce 5+ million starvation fatalities inside six months. Even the USAA may be unable to acquire and move enough food and distribution infrastructure (rough-road trucks, for example) to prevent a Nork Holdomor 2.0
The average Nork serf is absolutely indoctrinated in dysfunctional stupidity, courtesy of the State Religion of Communism. They are “institutionalized” in ways you and I can only imagine, never having observed such a Uber-cult state. China doesn’t want 10-20 million of them wanterdin into China, expecting China to live up to the cult-promises of the Kim’s.
Let that sink in. -China- fears 10-20 million Norks migrating inward and demanding the fruits of Communism. -They- cant manage that, and they -know- cant cover up the resultant mess, which would erase their “political” face forever.
Ideally, the Norks decide ‘this is -bullshit- and dispose of the current regime, and saner heads there say “help!”. We might get China to go along if we can somehow guarantee 1) the staving ones go -south-, and 2) a -wide-, land-mined, and -unpopulated- DMZ along the Yalu. Maybe.
That is more likely to happen than not. And there is no guarantee that ND:tBF might not be assassinated by the Chinese, just to get rid of the nuisance he represents.
Put another way, no matter what the natural resources of a region, unless the human resources are sufficiently well developed the natural resources are worthless.
The NK citizens are 5+ generations into total brain washing. I don’t think most of that can be undone. They honestly won’t know what to do. I think there is some hope for the serfs out in the fields though. I’m sure they resent the crap out of The Dear One. Especially for having to eat their own children. Also all of the families and friends that didn’t accompany their loved ones to prison camps for farting wrong.
Worse, it appears he has banned drinking and singing parties. Traditionally, when dictators try to ban things like drinking, they are not just circling the drain but hurtling down that last spiral. Ban an Asian from karaoke? You’d be better off trying to ban all guns in the US instantly.
Like how “we” banned alcohol in Japan for US Troops? 😛
He’s also been warned by China to not test another nuke of any level in that mountain where he tested his H-bomb, because it’s going to cave in and do some very serious damage if he does.
He seems to do whatever he wants to, so listening to the Chinese may not be in his vocabulary.
North Korea is so bankrupt from decades of corrupt communist regimes, that it’s not surprising the military would also fall victim. The only one not missing any meals is ‘Fatty Kim da T’ird’.
Trump could also declare North Korea a state sponsor of terror.
Like this:

What’s even more telling are the comments in that article. Half the comments are raving, Trump hating, anti-Americanism. How does anyone not see that the Democrats (who, if Clinton hadn’t stolen the nomination, would have nominated an admitted socialist for president last year!) are the ones pushing this all powerful national government ideology? Pretty clear that everywhere it’s been tried, socialism has failed.
How they can connect Trump, who’s very obviously a free market supporter, with what happens in NK? There is nothing they won’t blame on Trump and the Republicans to push this socialist/communist agenda.
They’re still blind, they’re still stupid, and that won’t change until they have to face the kind of commie crap that is going on in Venezuela now. Same thing, except Maduro doesn’t have nukes.
Yeah, no kidding. You’d think that the job of educating someone on socialism would be as easy as showing them those night photos of the Earth from orbit. Pretty easy to spot the difference between NK and SK or HK and China. Pretty obvious where things appear to be working right. So obvious you can see it from freaking space!
I heard some Secret Service guys traded him some for hookers
But it’s DEMOCRATIC Socialism, not just socialism. It’s different…and stuff.
It may be more likely that, nuclear weapons aside, we have more to fear from N. Korean diseases and parasites than N. Korean weapons.
[foil hat warning]
Maybe this soldier that escaped was part of a bio weapons research program with parasites.
Maybe this soldier was an experimental carrier. I mean, if Fat Kim Dat Tird releases thousands of infected norkies on the south, they would all be received, right?
Nah, socialist people would never try to infect civilians with bio weapons. Only evilz capitalist/corporatist pigz do that.
* capitalizt/corporatizt. (forgot to Zs)
* two Zs
* i’m a retard
I concur.
LOL
But some folks may need the /s or /jk tags for clarity.
Take it easy, Yef. It’s only Monday. You have the remaining five days of the week to make mistakes. Save some for Friday.
YOU COULD HAVE kept your mouth shut and let others wonder if you’re a fool, BUT NOOOOOOooooo, you have to open your mouth and remove ALL doubt, Poindexter!!!
Everybody who seems to have the opinion that NK will be a walkover seems to forget that we’re still in Afghanistan and Iraq and Somalia and Yemen and God-Knows-Where. And forgets that NK is quite a bit better armed and technologically adept.
Well I don’t think it will. The BEST case scenario, if it goes into a shooting war is that once the North’s C and C is disrupted and what little supplies they have are delivered to their troops the starving, brainwashed masses holdout in strongholds and pockets for days or weeks at a time.
Once things “break” NDtBF will probably be bumped off by his own Generals,,, who will continue to push for victory. The North will suffer massive casualties in the military and civilians will be pushed or caught in the middle and die of starvation and disease.
South Korea will have losses of about 30K minumum and US forces will lose at least half that.
War is over in 4 months And that’s optimistic
Valid point, except wrong. We have a few hundred to a few thousand troops in any of those places, and almost none in direct combat with opfor. The vast majority of them are advisors, trainers, and such. Not at all on the same level of conflict and operation as what will happen when we have to eventually end North Korea. As for their technology, it is cutting edge of the 1970’s for the most part if it even works, and the military is also a part of that “eat three times a week if I need it or not” bunch.
Park a ton of troops on The DMZ and every day at noon let them eat KFC in full view of the Norks. Done deal.
Make sure that the scent of cooking chicken (especially the extra crispy KFC) reaches them.
That, and those little apple pocket tarts from McD’s – that would do it. The scent of baking apple pie is amazing… or baked dressing, loaded with thyme… or just a panful of lasagna….
Just make sure the “wind” is blowing in their direction.
Get a few of those big fans they use to turn up the wind in America when it isn’t blowing and put a few Texas BBQ and BBQ chicken places on the DMZ, that’s they way to fix it.
Don’t forget bacon, coffee, donuts, and Sriracha.
Always heard the best/most trustworthy troops of the KPA get stationed on the Z. Best equipped fed etc. If this kid was one of their better grunts , and is eat up with huge worms?….just saying.
