Where did you get that keylogger from anyway?
I suggest you use another computer while you get access to the account, if possible, and reinstall windows on your main computer.
some russian program. My antivirus doesnt find anything, nor does Ad-aware. Should I run spybot?
Try Microsoft Security Essentials, or just reinstall windows.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Tropical Fish Diseases
- - fish being eaten or salt problem?
fish being eaten or salt problem? Hello, I am new to the forum, so I will give you a portrait of my tank. -55 gal -set up in April this year. -freshwater -plastic plants -gravel -one dried log bought at aquarium store -tank finished cycling about 6 weeks ago -Filter: marineland emperor 400, 2 extra slots used for activated carbon -temp kept at about 80 degrees -perform 10 gal water change weekly with gravel vaccum and replacing with tap water treated with TopFin water conditioner -last measurements: NH3/4:0, NO2:0, NO3:10 on 6/30 At that time I had: 2 corys, 3 zebra danios, 3 sunset platys, 4 white clouds, 2 upside down catfish, 1 pleco, 1 silver lyre molly, 1 clown loach On 6/30 I bought 2 dwarf gouramis, 7 neon tetras, 3 silver dollars. Before adding them, I did a 10 gal water change. I also added 4 tbsp of aquarium conditioning salt per recommendation of the aquarist I bought the fish from. Overnight, one of the gouramis died. I returned it and brought home a new one, two more mollys and three more neon tetras. Since then, my fish have been dying one by one. First one of the corys, then two of the silver dollars, then one platy, then the silver lyre molly and one by one 3 of the white clouds. I have since learned that the aquarium salt was a bad idea and did a 15 gal water change on 7/2 and another 10 gal water change today on 7/6. I don't know if some of the new fish are eating others because the cory, platy, silver dollars and the white clouds I have all found with fins chewed off and pieces of their body chewed. I don't know if that occured before or after they died. I also don't know if the addition of the salt may have slowly killed them because the silver molly that I had from before took two days to die - I could see it get more stressed, exhausted, quicker breathing, slower swimming, being picked at by the two new mollys etc. The cory however I found alive one morning with his tailfin chewed off and then he died within hours. My question thus, is the cause for my dying fish some of the new fish or the salt? On another note, I was wondering what recommendations you have for filter maintenance for the emperor 400. I have washed one of the two netted cartridges every week but not exchanged either of them. I also change the carbon in the two extra slots once a month. Thank you very much for your time and help. |
In my view your fish are suffering from ammonia poisoning. The water conditioner you are using does not remove ammonia but rather reduces it. Product PRIME or AMQUEL are both good water conditioners that remove ammonia along with chloramines and chlorine. You also added a bunch of fish that = more fish poo that= more ammonia. You should only clean filters with old aquarium water and once every other water change . It will take some time for beneficial bacteria that breaks down harmful ammonia to adjust to the sudden addition of fish you have added. Keep a daily watch on ammonia through water tests and change out water whenever ammonia levels become lethal. Do NOT add any chemicals to your tank other than dechlorinator. Fish will do fine without salt. :( |
I agree that adding all of those new fish at once might have contributed to ammonia problems, but I've never heard of ammonia poisoning resulting in shredded fins and the like. Did any of those new fish you bought have shredded or torn fins when you bought them? I'm thinking that you might have introduced some sort of fin rot or other infection to your tank when you added the new fish. None of the fish you have are particularly aggressive (well, the gouramis can get aggressive towards one another but shouldn't bother your other fish) so I don't think aggression is the culprit. The use of salt is a highly debated issue but it certainly doesn't cause fins to rot off. Do you have pictures of any of the diseased fish? Did you notice torn fins or "bite marks" on the fish before they died? |
How are the clown loach and surviving cories doing? Those guys should be effected the most by salt so you should be seeing problems with them more than the others. Also, just so you know, clown loaches grow to be 16 inches and really need a group of at least 6 others to be happy. A 55 gallon isn't going to be sufficient for very long :( |
Thank you for your replies. To answer some of the questions: I don't have pictures as the ones with the missing fins are dead and were flushed. The two silver dollars that died had partially nipped fins when I bought them, which made me think that perhaps the remaining silver dollar was the culprit picking at the other fish. The cory that died had his entire tail fin chewed off and the dead white clouds I found had their tail fins missing as well. The remaining cory and clown loach are as happy and active as can be. They show no signs of stress which makes me think that the water changes have really averted any ill effects from adding the salt. Sorry to hear about the clown loach and his potential size. I may have to donate him to a friend with a larger tank when the time comes. I guess that overall I should just be more careful and add less fish at a time, allowing the bacterial flora to catch up. Would you know of any helpful websites that could direct me to which fish fit well together, i.e. which don't pick at each other, enjoy the same water quality/temp etc? Thanks for all your help and input. |
You can simply perform google search on particular fish or fishes you are interested in and the information will many times help you decide which fish are compatible and usually the info. will also suggest water parameters for different species. There is no one site that will list all the info. that's why they call it research. Also Fish that succumb or are weak will often times be picked on or even eaten by tankmates. |

Aerostar is a top-down, vertically-scrolling shooter. The player controls an aircraft, but instead of going all across the screen, it can only stay on or fly over a preset road. However, it can ascend at the cost of disabling your weapons before descending back onto either another road or the one it was on before. Like most top-down shooters, there are power-up pods which provide an array of missiles, lasers, and guardian pods. In the end of each level there are extremely tough bosses. No storyline is provided.Screenshots

BRIEF-Preston Hollow Capital announces $115 mln financing transaction
* Preston Hollow Capital - announces $115 million financing transaction for Irving Convention Center Hotel Source text for Eikon:
SEOUL/HONG KONG Aug 22 Private equity firms Affinity Equity Partners and CVC Capital Partners are among potential bidders for South Korea's No. 1 car rental company, KT Rental, in a sale expected to fetch around 800 billion won ($786 million), people familiar with the matter said on Friday.
KT Rental parent KT Corp, South Korea's No. 2 telecom company, announced the sale in June, the latest disposal in a series of non-core assets being sold off by sprawling South Korean conglomerates. Bankers say the trend will likely lure private equity firms, flush with capital and looking to invest in one of Asia's hottest markets for mergers and acquisitions.
KT is also selling loan servicing arm KT Capital , while Hanwha Group recently sold drug unit DreamPharma. POSCO is seeking to sell assets including POSCO Specialty Steel, while the Hanjin and Hyundai groups are also selling assets to improve their balance sheets.
Private equity-backed M&A deals in South Korea have reached $16.9 billion thus far this year, already surpassing 2013's $11.6 billion and accounting for more than half of all such M&A deals in Asia in 2014 so far.
Affinity was not available for comment, while CVC declined to comment.
The people familiar with the matter said other unidentified potential bidders are considering offers. The people declined to be identified as they were not authorised to speak to media.
South Korean online publication Edaily and other media have reported other potential bidders include SK Networks , which has its own auto rental business, and retail giant Lotte Group.
An SK Networks spokesman said nothing had been decided on whether to participate in bidding. A Lotte spokesman could not be reached for comment.
KT Rental said in a filing it had a 26 percent share of South Korea's car rental market in the second quarter. The company had an operating profit of 97 billion won last year, with an 11 percent operating margin sure to the catch the eye of potential bidders.
"The car rental business is stable. It's basically asset-backed and the market is steadily growing. All the buyer needs to do is not pay too much," said Han Byung-hwa, an analyst at Eugene Investment & Securities.
The country's giant 'chaebols', or family-owned conglomerates, are selling non-core assets, drawing lessons from the 2012-2013 collapse of mid-tier peers like Woongjin and Tong Yang, which failed to slim down quickly after ambitious expansion left them saddled with heavy debts following the 2008 global financial crisis.
"South Korean chaebols are trying to streamline their portfolio. There may be decent M&A opportunities in the coming three years in relation to such chaebols' strategic initiatives," said Jangho Park, CEO and head of investment banking at Citigroup Global Markets Korea told Reuters.
Credit Suisse is advising KT on the sale.

Norm Abrams in a home workshop. |
Well.....the truth is, my 'workshop' is nothing more than my semi-converted garage. It has been operating as a 'chill room' for my kids up until the last month or so. The problem was, there hadn't been much chillin' going on in there and I needed the space to throw all this sh--, well stuff into. I call it a workshop by default.
Gotta get the Ikea sofa OUT! |
To make matters worse, my actual home studio is a complete disaster because of this. Stuff that should be in a workshop is crowding out the studio and making a cluttery mess of nothing.
So here is the rub. I have to figure out how I am going to get this organized with no help. Yep. No help. Move all this heavy heavy stuff with one cart and nobody. Makes me wonder if the dream of having a business of my own is possible. I see all these people out on the blogs taking their stuff to shows, setting up shops in malls and retail spaces. Just how do these people physically pull this off?!!! I even gave away a relatively new Ikea couch and couldn't get anyone to pick it up to clear it away!!

A few years ago I had the very half-baked idea of using E2 as a forum for exchanging used books. It kind of worked for a while, but then it got too big, too out of control, and frankly too boring to manage. I am happy to report someone else is doing a much better job with a similar idea.
BookMooch.com is sort of a cross between the ill-fated book lotto and BookCrossing. Like BookCrossing, BookMooch enables you to get rid of unwanted books and pick up interesting "new" ones, and like the book lotto, it lets you choose among titles. And it has gazillions.
What I like best about the site is that reciprocal trades aren't necessary. BookMooch runs on a point system, where points are awarded for building an inventory of books to give away (this means you must first offer books before asking for others), and for mailing those books to other users who request them. Earn a point by mailing user A a book, spend that point by requesting a book from user B. Mailing a book out of your home country earns you more points than usual.
Accumulate more points than you think you'll spend, and the site allows you to donate those extra points to numerous partnered charities, which will benefit a public library or let a sick kid pick out a book to be delivered to his hospital.
There's also an ebay-esque feedback system to keep people honest. I have no idea whether this will work, how tamper-proof the system is, or how many people are using the site solely to scam a few free books. The feeling I've gotten so far is that most people are there primarily to get rid of books (I certainly am - seriously, if you're in need of an anthropological paper on ancient Mayan life, I'm your girl.).
BookMooch is fairly easy to navigate, and buzzing with activity - apparently it's attracted about 3000 new users within the past week. I created an account, posted a few dozen books, and had a request for two within minutes. There are still bugs and minor weirdities, but it's running pretty smoothly considering the site's all of nine days old and is being operated by one guy.
An overview of the site can be found here. Also includes a photo of founder John Buckman wearing a carrot salad.
update: a few interesting stats on the site's tenth day:
Update: Sept 11: I've just received my first three books, in perfect condition. Also I've set up a BookMoochers usergroup (21 members so far), which I don't imagine will see much chatter, but will serve as a useful way to track which E2 users are also BookMooch users. To be added to this usergroup just msg me or XWiz.
BookMooch is a book-trading website. See jessicapierce's writeup above for a description of how it works. In this writeup, I'm going to share my tips for getting the most out of BookMooch.
As a new BookMooch user, you may quickly find that none of the books that you want are actually available. This is pretty much the normal state of affairs. There is high demand and limited, sporadic supply. When someone adds a book to their inventory, it is quickly snapped up.
To ensure that you're notified when a book you want becomes available, you need to populate your wishlist. This is a list of books that you are interested in mooching. When someone lists a book, BookMooch looks up all the people who have that book on their wishlist, picks one of them at random, and e-mails them to let them know it's available. After a few hours, if the book is not yet mooched, another user is e-mailed them, and so on.
You can't really use BookMooch in the way that you would use, say, Amazon. There's little chance of instant gratification. Instead, you have to take the long view. When you hear about a book you might like to read, add it to your wishlist. The books you want will eventually become available. Once you build up a list, you will find you eventually build up a pile of books to read.
Note that the BookMooch system is aware that various different editions are often effectively the same book. When you search for a book to add to your wishlist, you need only add one of the various editions that may show up, and you will still be mailed when any edition is made available. The flip-side of this is that, if for some reason you want a particular edition, you must double-check before mooching, when a notification arrives.
Corollary to the above; note the way that each chosen user only has a few hours in which to claim the book before someone else is notified. It's a RACE! To be in with a chance of mooching a popular book, you need to check for e-mails regularly, and respond to such notifications quickly.
The variety of books that people are willing to mooch is truly incredible. I have personally added a good half-dozen books to my inventory that I was sure no-one would EVER want, and as the months have gone past, each one has been sent off to a new owner. Don't assume "no-one will want THIS"; you'd be amazed.
When listing books, provide information about the condition of the book, even if it's just a short note. Book condition may not matter to you, but some people are much more likely to mooch from you if they know the book's condition.
Bookmooch users are generally in it for the long-haul. Therefore, they won't mind if you use a slow, cheap shipping method to send your books. If you're going to use a really slow shipping method, like international surface mail, you should probably announce this; you can set it as your 'status'. For example, my status reads: "I am happy to send books abroad, but I will send them by surface mail, to save on postage and aviation fuel. If I mooch from you, feel free to do the same!"
Be aware that in some countries, books can be posted internationally at a cheaper "Printed Papers" rate; tell the post office staff that you're sending a book and ask for the best rate.
Sending a book internationally earns you 3 points. If you send using a cheap shipping method, it may well cost you less than sending 3 domestic books, so it's in your interest to ship internationally. (This will of course vary depending on shipping costs from where you live, the size of the book, and so on.)
It costs 2 points to mooch a book from abroad, but only 1 point to mooch a book from within your own country. Don't be too hasty to mooch a book from abroad if there's a good chance that a domestic copy will turn up.
These are some tips for hard-core bookmooching; you can definitely get a lot out of bookmooch without them, but they're presented here for the benefit of people who want to go that extra mile.
Recall above that when a book is added to BookMooch, the system notifies a user at random out of those users that want the book; if you're not that user, there's a good chance you'll never even know the book was available. However, BookMooch provides an RSS feed of your available books, which is updated immediately for all interested users. If you run an RSS Reader program, and subscribe to this feed, you can be notified immediately when a book becomes available. You'll still be in a race to mooch the book before someone else, but at least you'll be in with a better chance. The feed URL is on your wishlist page.
If you're short of points, you can actually go out and buy cheap books at charity shops to add to your inventory. Pick popular books and they will quickly be requested. The charity benefits, the moocher benefits, and you get to trade the points for the books you really want. Everybody wins! Obviously this is only worthwhile if you are using bookmooch to find obscure books that you can't easily buy.
Pick books that have won prizes, or that appear on Bookmooch's own "Top Books" section. Ereneta, who contributed this tip, adds "If I see a book that combines mystery with vampires, demons, or zombies, I know it will get snapped up quick (no joke)."

The latest entrant to the crowded Internet browser market is the appropriately named Browzar, a tool specifically designed to protect users' privacy by not retaining details of the Web sites they've searched.
Most Web browsers--like Microsoft's Internet Explorer--automatically save users' searches in Internet caches and histories. Users do have the option of deleting the history folder and emptying the Internet cache, but many people either don't know how to do that or tend not to, leaving a trail of where they've been online behind them in the browser.
Browzar is being officially launched today but can already be run or downloaded from its Web site. Users don't have to register to use the free browser.
Browzar automatically deletes Internet caches, histories, cookies, and auto-complete forms. Auto-complete is the feature that anticipates the search term or Web address a user might enter by relying on information previously entered into the browser.
Browzar is the brainchild of Ajaz Ahmed, the man behind Freeserve, the first U.K. Internet service provider to offer free Internet access to customers in the late 1990s. He sold Freeserve--which quickly became the U.K.'s largest ISP--to France Telecom's Wanadoo operation in 2001 for $3 billion.
Privacy Concerns
"Privacy is becoming a bigger issue," Ahmed said, pointing to the recent leak of more than 20 million user search queries by AOL. "The AOL story highlights the issue that some of the things people are searching for are very, very personal."
The Browzar site contains a page of stories from users who have either discovered things they rather not have known about their friends and loved ones through their Web browser's history or auto-complete feature or who have had information revealed they would have preferred kept private. For example, Ahmed cited a statistic that 35 percent of people using matchmaking Web sites are already married.
While Freeserve was focused on the needs of the U.K. market, Ahmed hopes Browzar will have global appeal, particularly anywhere users are going online on shared computers, for instance, at Internet cafes.
Browzar is very small in size, 264KB, and downloads within a few seconds. The browser is currently available for Windows and Ahmed plans versions for the Mac OS and Linux. Browzar is in beta testing at present and should enter general availability some time next month, he said.
Ahmed has formed a private company, Browzar, based in Huddersfield in the U.K. which he is fully funding, to help support and market the new browser. He's also hoping interest in Browzar will be driven by word of mouth and the Internet to achieve the kind of ubiquity enjoyed by the likes of Skype, MySpace, and YouTube.
So far, Browzar the company has a handful of employees, but Ahmed is planning to release more sophisticated versions of the Web browser as well as server-side applications. He plans to take on more staff as the company's product portfolio grows.
Browzar doesn't limit law enforcement's ability to track an individual's online behavior. "We don't make people invisible on the Internet; it's a privacy tool for your own desktop PC or the PC you're using," Ahmed said. "Law enforcement can still go to ISPs if they want; we don't override anything."
Browzar includes a search engine and the startup will generate money through revenue-sharing deals with search engine providers. Initially, the relationship is with Yahoo's Overture advertising sales subsidiary, but Ahmed plans to set up additional partnerships with other search companies over time to give users a choice of search engines.
Ahmed came up with the name "Browzar" as one that was simple to both say and remember. He said he was surprised that the domains browzar.com, browzar.net, and browzar.co.uk were still available.

The United States has officially ended its combat operations in Iraq. President Obama gave his second Oval Office address Tuesday night to mark the withdrawal of US combat troops from Iraq, so what didn't the President bring up? Former Reagan Administration official Paul Craig Roberts says that we didn't hear why we initially went to war with Iraq, although the world knows was based on lies and deception.

Meadowcraft, Inc.
by: Jeffrey Moellering, Marketing & Sales Director, Pro QC International
Meadowcraft, Inc. (www.meadowcraft.com) is the largest manufacturer of outdoor wrought iron furniture in the USA. Building on a tradition that spans more than 80 years, Meadowcraft's wrought iron furniture is known for its durability and functionality. Each piece of furniture is protected from the elements by an e-coat primer and a polyester powder paint topcoat. Meadowcraft is also proud that their "Sustainability Programs" over the years have reduced the impact on natural resources by consuming 75-80% of recycled materials. Meadowcraft employs approximately 1,500 people at its wrought iron manufacturing plant in Wadley, Alabama and cushions and umbrella manufacturing plant located in Selma, Alabama. Meadowcraft's mission is to put "Pride in the Box" by building world class products, cost efficiently and backing it up with world class customer service.
Meadowcraft has worked with Pro QC for over four years at factory locations in China, the Philippines and Mexico.
We spoke with John Diorio, VP of Supply Chain management about why Meadowcraft engages Pro QC's quality services. "With our growing import activities we realized that we needed a QC presence in the Orient. As an alternative to hiring our own QC employees, we determined that we could partner with Pro QC International who had the talent and the experience to meet our goal. We needed a partner that fully understood quality control and could hit the ground running. Additionally, we were looking for a company that would represent Meadowcraft with a high degree of integrity and we found that with Pro QC."
In explaining how Meadowcraft utilizes Pro QC's services, John stated; "First, to perform a QC System Audit and second, to perform pre-shipment inspections to provide assurance that the products that are shipping to Meadowcraft are within the pre-established AQL criteria. Before Meadowcraft authorizes production from a new source, Pro QC is dispatched to the source to assess the supplier's ability to control the quality. With the information gathered from the audit, AQL levels are then established. We are now focusing on process control issues and providing gauges, templates and in some cases visual aids. Additionally, we utilize Pro QC's team when needed to help facilitate expedited production activity and to ensure that our quality standards are not compromised when expedited production activity is required."
Concerning the benefits Meadowcraft has seen using Pro QC's services, John said that "With Pro QC we now have a global partner that truly understands what it takes to achieve high quality standards. They have helped us develop our quality standards and set objectives. In addition, we look to Pro QC to help us in communicating methods and processes that help assure our quality needs are met consistently. Another benefit with Pro QC is the documentation they provide. All audits and inspections are documented and maintained in a client database. This data is frequently used for continued supplier development purposes."
When asked how Pro QC has aided Meadowcraft in developing its supplier base and supply chain management functions, John added that "Pro QC's managers and engineers help Meadowcraft bridge what might otherwise be a communication barrier or gap. We have found in the past that poor or partial communication between Meadowcraft and the supplier have been a primary reason for poor quality and missed timelines. Since our seasonal business activity is typically executed on tight timelines, any initiative to improve communications benefits all involved. Visual aids, templates and other methods for maintaining process controls are needed and often initiated by Pro QC. Although we don't expect Pro QC to supervise production activities, we occasionally call on them to oversee a supplier's expedited production activity and to ensure that our quality expectations are not compromised. When called on to perform this service Pro QC has worked side by side with the supplier, directing QC activities and assuring that processes are in place to meet the quality requirements expected."

Why North Korea Needs Nuclear Weapons
The army and people of the DPRK are no longer what they used to be in the past when they had to counter the U.S. nukes with rifles–Rodong Sinmun, August 17, 2015
February 16, 2013
Updated August 17, 2015
By Stephen Gowans
Is North Korea's recent nuclear test, its third, to be welcomed, lamented or condemned? It depends on your perspective. If you believe that a people should be able to organize their affairs free from foreign domination and interference; that the United States and its client government in Seoul have denied Koreans in the south that right and seek to deny Koreans in the north the same right; and that the best chance that Koreans in the north have for preserving their sovereignty is to build nuclear weapons to deter a US military conquest, then the test is to be welcomed.
If you're a liberal, you might believe that the United States should offer the DPRK (the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, North Korea's official name) security guarantees in return for Pyongyang completely, permanently and verifiably eliminating its nuclear weapons program. If so, your position invites three questions.
• Contrary to the febrile rhetoric of high US officials, the United States is not threatened by North Korea. North Korea's nuclear weapons capability is a defensive threat alone. The DPRK's leaders are not unaware that a first-strike nuclear attack would trigger an overwhelming US nuclear retaliatory strike, which, as then US president Bill Clinton once warned, "would mean the end of their country as we know it". Since a North Korean first-strike would be suicidal (and this is not lost on the North Korean leadership), whether Pyongyang has or doesn't have nuclear weapons makes little difference to US national security. What, then, would motivate Washington to offer genuine security guarantees? It can't be argued that US national security considerations form the basis of the guarantees, since the threat to the United States of a nuclear-armed North Korea is about the same as a disarmed North Korea—approximately zero.
• How credible could any security guarantee be, in light of the reality that since 1945 Washington has invested significant blood and treasure in eliminating all expressions of communism and anti-imperialism on the Korean peninsula. The argument that the United States could issue genuine security guarantees would have to explain what had transpired to bring about a radical qualitative shift in US policy from attempting to eliminate communism in Korea to détente with it.
• Why is it incumbent on North Korea alone to disarm? Why not the United States too?
The conservative view, on which I shall not tarry, is simple. Anything North Korea does, except surrender, is blameworthy.
Finally, you might lament Pyongyang's nuclear test for running counter to nuclear non-proliferation, invoking the fear that growth in the number of countries with nuclear weapons increases the risk of war. But this view crumbles under scrutiny. The elimination of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) in Iraq didn't reduce the chances of US military intervention in that country—it increased them. Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's voluntary elimination of his WMD didn't prevent a NATO assault on Libya—it cleared the way for it. The disarming of countries that deny the US ruling class access to markets, natural resources, and investment opportunities, in order to use these for their own development, doesn't reduce the risk of wars of conquest—it makes them all the more certain.
The radical view locates the cause of wars of conquest since the rise of capitalism in the drive for profits. This compulsion chases the goods, services and capital of corporate-dominated societies over the face of the globe to settle everywhere, nestle everywhere, and establish connections everywhere, irrespective of the wishes, interests, development needs and welfare of the natives. If territories aren't voluntarily opened to capital penetration through trade and investment agreements, their doors are battered down by the Pentagon, the enforcer of last resort of a world economic order supporting, as its first commitment, the profit-making interests of the US ruling class.
Because North Korea has long been vilified and condemned by the Western press as bellicose, provocative and unpredictable, it's difficult to cut through the fog of vituperation that obscures any kind of dispassionate understanding of the country to grasp that the DPRK represents something praiseworthy: a tradition of struggle against oppression and foreign domination, rooted in the experience of a majority of Koreans dating back to the end of WWII and the period of Japanese colonial rule. This tradition found expression in the Korean People's Republic, a national government, created by, for, and of Koreans, that was already in place when US troops landed at Inchon in September, 1945. The new government was comprised of leftists who had won the backing of the majority, partly because they had led the struggle against Japan's colonial occupation, and partly because they promised relief from exploitation by landlords and capitalists. The USSR, which occupied the north of the country until 1948, worked with the KPR in its occupation zone, but the United States suppressed the KPR in the south, worked to exterminate leftist forces in its zone, and backed conservatives reviled by Koreans for their oppressions and collaboration with the Japanese. By 1948, the peninsula was divided between a northern government led by guerrillas and activists who fought to liberate Korea from Japanese rule, and a southern government led by a US-installed anti-communist backed by conservatives tainted by collaboration with colonial oppression. For the next 65 years, the essential character of the competing regimes has remained the same. Park Geun-hye, the incoming South Korean president is the daughter of a former president, Park Chung-hee, who came to power in a military coup in 1961. The elder Park had served in the Japanese Imperial Army. Kim Il Sung, grandfather of North Korea's current leader, Kim Jong-eun, was an important guerrilla leader who, unlike the collaborator Park, fought, rather than served, the Japanese. The North represents the traditions of struggle against foreign domination, both political and economic, while the South represents the tradition of submission to and collaboration with a foreign hegemon. Significantly, there are no foreign troops stationed in North Korea, but are in South Korea. North Korean troops have never fought abroad, but South Korea's have, odiously in Vietnam, in return for infusions of mercenary lucre from the Americans, and later in Iraq. As regards repression, South Korea's authoritarianism on behalf of rightist causes is long and enduring, typified in the virulently anti-communist National Security Law, which metes out harsh punishment to anyone who so much as publicly utters a kind word about North Korea. The South Korean police state also blocks access to pro-North Korean websites, bans books, including volumes by Noam Chomsky and heterodox (though pro-capitalist) economist Ha Joon-chang, and imprisons anyone who travels to the North.
Since the Korean War the United States and South Korea have maintained unceasing pressure on North Korea through subversion, espionage, propaganda, economic warfare and threats of nuclear attack and military invasion. Low-intensity warfare sets as its ultimate objective the collapse of the North Korean government. Unremitting military pressure forces Pyongyang to maintain punishingly high expenditures on defense (formalized in the country's Songun, or "army first" policy). Massive defense expenditures divert critical resources from the civilian economy, retarding economic growth. At the same time, trade and financial sanctions heap further harm on the economy. Economic dislocations disrupt food supplies, make life harsh for many North Koreans, and breed discontent. Discontent in turn engenders political opposition, which is beaten back and contained by measures of repression and restriction of civic and political liberties. In response, Washington disingenuously deplores Pyongyang's military expenditures at a time North Koreans "are starving"; denounces Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program as a "provocation" (rather than a defense against US military threat); dishonestly attributes the country's economic difficulties to allegedly inherent weaknesses in public ownership and central planning (rather than sanctions and financial strangulation); and chastises the DPRK for its repressive measures to check dissent (ultimately traceable to US pressures.) In other words, the regrettable features of North Korea that Washington highlights to demonize and discredit the DPRK are the consequences, not the causes, of US North Korea policy. To view US policy as a reaction to the DPRK's nuclear weapons program, economic difficulties, and repressions is to get the causal direction wrong.
US foreign policy
US foreign policy aims to secure and defend access to foreign markets, natural resources and investment opportunities and deny communists and nationalists control because access might be blocked, limited or freighted with social welfare and domestic development considerations.
As a general rule, the American government's attitude to governments in the Third World …depends very largely on the degree to which these governments favour American free enterprise in their countries or are likely to favour it in the future…In this perspective, the supreme evil is obviously the assumption of power by governments whose main purpose is precisely to abolish private ownership and private enterprise…Such governments are profoundly objectionable not only because their actions profoundly affect foreign-owned interests and enterprises or because they render future capitalist implantation impossible [but also] because the withdrawal of any country from the world system of capitalist enterprise is seen as constituting a weakening of that system and as providing encouragement to further dissidence and withdrawal. [1]
North Korea is one of the few countries left that commits "the supreme evil." Allowed to develop in peace, unimpeded by military pressure and economic warfare, it might become an inspiration for other countries to follow. From the perspective of the US ruling class, the United States' North Korea policy must have one overarching objective: the DPRK's demise. Asked by The New York Times to explain the aim of US policy on North Korea, then US under secretary of state for arms control John Bolton "strode over to a bookshelf, pulled off a volume and slapped it on the table. It was called 'The End of North Korea.'" "'That,' he said, 'is our policy.'" [2]
On top of profit-making goals, and crippling North Korea economically, politically and socially to prevent its emergence as an inspiring example to other countries, Washington seeks to maintain access to its strategic position on a peninsula whose proximity to China and Russia provides a forward operating base from which to pressure these two significant obstacles to the United States' complete domination of the globe.
Threats of nuclear war
According to declassified and other US government documents, some released on the 60th-anniversary of the Korean War, from "the 1950s' Pentagon to today's Obama administration, the United States has repeatedly pondered, planned and threatened the use of nuclear weapons against North Korea." [3] These documents, along with the public statements of senior US officials, point to an ongoing pattern of US nuclear intimidation of the DPRK.
• The United States introduced nuclear weapons to the Korean peninsula as early as 1950. [4]
• During the Korean War, US president Harry Truman announced that the use of nuclear weapons was under active consideration; US Air Force bombers flew nuclear rehearsal runs over Pyongyang; and US commander General Douglas MacArthur planned to drop 30 to 50 atomic bombs across the northern neck of the Korean peninsula to block Chinese intervention. [5]
• In the late 1960s, nuclear-armed US warplanes were maintained on 15-minute alert to strike North Korea. [6]
• In 1975, US defense secretary James Schlesinger acknowledged for the first time that US nuclear weapons were deployed in South Korea. Addressing the North Koreans, he warned, "I do not think it would be wise to test (US) reactions." [7]
• In February 1993, Lee Butler, head of the US Strategic Command, announced the United States was retargeting hydrogen bombs aimed at the old USSR on North Korea (and other targets.) One month later, North Korea withdrew from the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty. [8]
• On July 22, 1993, US president Bill Clinton said if North Korea developed and used nuclear weapons "we would quickly and overwhelmingly retaliate. It would mean the end of their country as we know it." [9]
• In 1995, Colin Powell, who had served as chairman of the US joints chiefs of staff and would later serve as US secretary of state, warned the North Koreans that the United States had the means to turn their country into "a charcoal briquette." [10]
• Following North Korea's first nuclear test on October 9, 2006, US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice reminded North Korea that "the United States has the will and the capability to meet the full range—and I underscore full range of its deterrent and security commitments to Japan [emphasis added]." [11]
• In April 2010, US defense secretary Leon Panetta refused to rule out a US nuclear attack on North Korea, saying, "all options are on the table." [12]
• On February 13, 2013, Panetta described North Korea as "a threat to the United States, to regional stability, and to global security." He added: "Make no mistake. The US military will take all necessary steps to meet our security commitments to the Republic of Korea and to our regional allies [emphasis added]." [13]
As the North Koreans put it, "no nation in the world has been exposed to the nuclear threat so directly and for so long as the Koreans."[14]
"For over half a century since early in the 1950s, the US has turned South Korea into the biggest nuclear arsenal in the Far East, gravely threatening the DPRK through ceaseless manoeuvres for a nuclear war. It has worked hard to deprive the DPRK of its sovereignty and its right to exist and develop….thereby doing tremendous damage to its socialist economic construction and the improvement of the standard of people's living." [15]
Economic warfare
The breadth and depth of US economic warfare against North Korea can be summed up in two sentences:
• North Korea is "the most sanctioned nation in the world" — George W. Bush. [16]
• …"there are few sanctions left to apply." – The New York Times [17]
From the moment it imposed a total embargo on exports to North Korea three days after the Korean War began in June 1950, the United States has maintained an uninterrupted regimen of economic, financial, and diplomatic sanctions against North Korea. These include:
o Limits on the export of goods and services.
o Prohibition of most foreign aid and agricultural sales.
o A ban on Export-Import Bank funding.
o Denial of favourable trade terms.
o Prohibition of imports from North Korea.
o Blocking of any loan or funding through international financial institutions.
o Limits on export licensing of food and medicine for export to North Korea.
o A ban on government financing of food and medicine exports to North Korea.
o Prohibition on import and export transactions related to transportation.
o A ban on dual-use exports (i.e., civilian goods that could be adapted to military purposes.)
o Prohibition on certain commercial banking transactions. [18]
In recent years, US sanctions have been complemented by "efforts to freeze assets and cut off financial flows" [19] by blocking banks that deal with North Korean companies from access to the US banking system. The intended effect is to make North Korea a banking pariah that no bank in the world will touch. Former US president George W. Bush was "determined to squeeze North Korea with every financial sanction possible" until its economy collapsed. [20] The Obama administration has not departed from the Bush policies.
Washington has also acted to sharpen the bite of sanctions, pressing other countries to join its campaign of economic warfare against a country it faults for maintaining a Marxist-Leninist system and non-market economy. [21] This has included the sponsoring of a United Nations Security Council resolution compelling all nations to refrain for exporting dual-use items to North Korea (a repeat of the sanctions regime that led to the crumbling of Iraq's healthcare system in the 1990s.) Washington has even gone so far as to pressure China (unsuccessfully) to cut off North Korea's supply of oil. [22]
Drawing the appropriate lesson
On the day Baghdad fell to invading US forces, John Bolton warned Iran, Syria and North Korea to "draw the appropriate lesson from Iraq." [23] There can be no doubt that Pyongyang drew a lesson, though not the one Bolton intended. The North Koreans did not conclude, as Bolton hoped, that peace and security could be achieved by relinquishing WMDs. Instead, the North Koreans couldn't fail to grasp the real lesson of the US assault on Iraq. The United States had invaded Iraq only after Saddam Hussein had cleared the way by complying with US demands to destroy his weapons of mass destruction. Had he actually retained the weapons he was falsely accused of hiding and holding in reserve, the Americans would likely have never attacked.
Subsequent events in Libya have only reinforced the lesson. Muammar Gaddafi had developed his own WMD program to protect Libya from Western military intervention. But Gaddafi also faced an internal threat—Islamists, including jihadists linked to Al Qaeda, who sought to overthrow him to create an Islamist society in Libya. After 9/11, with the United States setting out to crush Al Qaeda, Gaddafi sought a rapprochement with the West, becoming an ally in the international battle against Al Qaeda, to more effectively deal with his own Islamist enemies at home. The price of being invited into the fold was to abandon his weapons of mass destruction. When Gaddafi agreed to this condition he made a fatal strategic blunder. An economic nationalist, Gaddafi irritated Western oil companies and investors by insisting on serving Libyan interests ahead of the oil companies' profits and investors' returns. Fed up with his nationalist obstructions, NATO teamed up with Gaddafi's Islamist enemies to oust and kill the Libyan leader. Had he not surrendered his WMDs, Gaddafi would likely still be playing a lead role in Libya. "Who would have dared deal with Gaddafi or Saddam Hussein if they had a nuclear capability?" asks Major General Amir Eshel, chief of the Israeli army's planning division. "No way." [24]
Having unilaterally disarmed, Gaddafi was hailed in Western capitals, and world leaders hastened to Tripoli to sign commercial agreements with him. Among Gaddafi's visitors was the South Korean minister of foreign affairs, and Ban Ki-moon, later to become the UN secretary general. Both men urged the "rehabilitated" Libyan leader to persuade the North Koreans to give up their nuclear weapons. [25] Whether Gaddafi acceded to the Koreans' request is unclear, but if he did, his advice was wisely ignored. In the North Korean view, Gaddafi fell prey to a "bait and switch." The lesson the DPRK drew from Libya was that the only guarantee of peace on the Korean peninsula is a powerful military, backed by nuclear weapons. [26]
This is neither an irrational view, nor one the West, for all its pieties about nuclear non-proliferation (for others), rejects for itself. Britain, for example, justifies its own nuclear weapons program with reference to the need "to deter and prevent nuclear blackmail and acts of aggression against our vital interests that cannot be countered by other means." [27] If the UK requires nuclear weapons to deter and prevent nuclear blackmail and acts of aggression, then surely the North Koreans—long on the receiving end of these minatory pressures—do as well. Indeed, the case can be made that the North Koreans have a greater need for nuclear arms than the British do, for whom nuclear blackmail and acts of aggression are only hypotheticals.
General Kevin P. Chilton, head of the US Strategic Command from 2007 to 2011, told Washington Post columnist Walter Pincus in 2010 that, "Throughout the 65-year history of nuclear weapons, no nuclear power has been conquered or even put at risk of conquest." [28] On the other hand, countries that comply with demands to abandon their WMDs soon find themselves conquered, by countries with nuclear weapons aplenty and no intention of giving them up. Pincus used Chilton's words to advocate a pre-emptive strike on North Korea to prevent the country from developing a large enough nuclear arsenal to make itself invulnerable to conquest. That no nuclear power has been conquered or put at risk of conquest is "a thought others in government ought to ponder as they watch Iran and North Korea seek to develop nuclear capability," Pincus wrote. [29]
Nuclear arms have political utility. For countries with formidable nuclear arsenals and the means of delivering warheads, nuclear weapons can be used to extort political concessions from non-nuclear-armed states through terror and intimidation. No country exploits the political utility of nuclear weapons as vigorously as the United States does. In pursuing its foreign policy goals, Washington threatened other countries with nuclear attack on 25 separate occasions between 1970 and 2010, and 14 occasions between 1990 and 2010. On six of these occasions, the United States threatened the DPRK. [30] There have been more US threats against North Korea since. (The United States' record of issuing threats of nuclear attack against other countries over this period is: Iraq, 7; China, 4; the USSR, 4; Libya, 2; Iran, 1; Syria, 1. Significantly, all these countries, like the DPRK, were under communist or economically nationalist governance when the threats were made.)
Nuclear weapons also have political utility for countries menaced by nuclear and other military threats. They raise the stakes for countries seeking to use their militaries for conquest, and therefore reduce the chances of military intervention. There is little doubt that the US military intervention in Iraq and NATO intervention in Libya would not have been carried out had the targets not disarmed and cleared the way for outside forces to intervene with impunity.
A North Korean nuclear arsenal does not increase the chances of war—it reduces the likelihood that the United States and its South Korean marionette will attempt to bring down the communist government in Pyongyang by force. This is to be welcomed by anyone who opposes imperialist military interventions; supports the right of a people to organize its affairs free from foreign domination; and has an interest in the survival of one of the few top-to-bottom, actually-existing, alternatives to the global capitalist system of oppression, exploitation, and foreign domination.

According to Rennack, the following US sanctions have been imposed on North Korea for reasons listed as either "communism", "non-market economy" or "communism and market disruption": prohibition on foreign aid; prohibition on Export-Import Bank funding; limits on the exports or goods and services; denial of favorable trade terms.

"The tragic consequences in those countries which abandoned halfway their nuclear programs, yielding to the high-handed practices and pressure of the U.S. in recent years, clearly prove that the DPRK was very far-sighted and just when it made the option. They also teach the truth that the U.S. nuclear blackmail should be countered with substantial countermeasures, not with compromise or retreat."

Mr. Gowans, thank you so much the excellent analysis re North Korea and why it retains it nuclear weapons. It seems that most "progressive" political analysts and the libertarian James Corbett (who is excellent on many issues), CHOOSE not to understand why North Korea must keep its nuclear weapons and might even feel a need to set off a few tests just to let the imperialist world know they are still alive and not surrendering. Corbett talked about the aid packages to North Korea and says they did no good. He said we have to hope that China will put the pressure on North Korea. He made it appear that North Korea was not only blowing out underground nuclear weapons but all the great "opportunities" offered to it. What a sad joke. When Corbett is right he is very good, very impressive. But, when Corbett blunders, as in the case of this report on North Korea, he is actually dangerous–because listeners have become attuned to his often accurate analysis and honest anti-imperialism. I would love to see you, Mr. Gowans, debate Mr. Corbett on this issue of North Korea and its nuclear weapons. Go to http://www.corbettreport.com/north-korea-tests-nuclear-device-world-braces-for-reaction/ for Corbett's 5 minute report on Russia Today (RT).
Your analysis re Iraq and Libya—esp. Libya—bowing to the imperialist wishes to rid themselves of any nuclear weapons is much needed. I felt as if a lot of me died inside when the great Gadhafi, who did so much for his people, and for Africa and who created the Great Man-Made River (considered an engineering feat and the eight wonder of the world) was captured, tortured, sodomized and murdered and when the whole nationalist Libya was destroyed by the US/NATO/UN support for the imperialist funded "rebels." This truth and reality must be told over and over and over and NOW, before Syria is destroyed by the same forces that destroyed Libya AND before all of Africa is recolonized by the same forces.
I have been awaiting your analysis of the truth re North Korea and the lasted nuclear incident. I knew you would write this article, and I knew the article would be excellent. I was not disappointed!
good work
It seems to me the power that North Korean ruling class is most likely to worry about is China, not the United States or South Korea. (This is assuming their rulers are more or less rational, and wish to retain their lives and powers, which seems reasonable and consistent with our perceptions.) The states which have the physical capability of attacking North Korea are the United States, South Korea, Russia, Japan, and China. Russia has nothing to gain, and an invasion would invite war with both China and the U.S. Japan and South Korea will surely not do anything as adventurous as attack even a non-nuclear North Korea without the approval of the United States. (cf. the Georgian adventure.) This leaves the U.S. and China. The U.S. ruling class might like to rub out North Korea on general principles, or not — it is useful as a whipping boy — but a U.S. invasion of North Korea without the unlikely prior agreement of China would surely lead to a serious and dangerous war, since the Chinese would not tolerate such a significant change in the strategic balance on their periphery, and the U.S. would gain very little by such a move, certainly nothing commensurate with the cost. Therefore, the U.S. can be counted out as a potential aggressor. On the other hand, were China to invade North Korea and remove the leadership there, it would probably be welcomed by South Korea and the U.S., especially if advance notice were given. The historical experience of Korea tells Koreans that neighboring states are quite willing to take over their country, and observation of recent Chinese conflicts with Vietnam, India, Tibet, and Russia, to say nothing of the Korean War with the U.S. and South Korea, demonstrate the willingness of China to go to war on its borders regardless of the supposed political coloration of its opponent. In the case of North Korea, the Chinese r.c. may well regard the North Korea as insufficiently subservient, a 'loose cannon'. I have read as well that there are a large number of Koreans in Manchuria as economic refugees which the Chinese may wish to send back to North Korea, just as one of the motives of the Indian r.c. for invading East Pakistan was the large number of Bengali refugees who had moved into India from there. The North Korean r.c. would therefore be well advised to raise the cost of an invasion of their country to a point which the most likely invader will find prohibitive. The fact that it will also tend to dissuade less likely invaders is icing on the cake.
The North Korean ruling class worries about an invasion from China (!) more than that from the United States and its crime partners?
Your assertion is comical and conveniently minimizes focus away from the American threat–albeit, with an apparent "Anarchist" political slant.
It was America–not China–that bombed North Korea back to the Stone Age and genocided well over a million North Koreans during the Korean War. And it is America that wants to overthrow the North Korean government and impose a subservient US client regime, as the "Land of the Free" has done throughout the entire world.
Indeed, that is one motivation for America's decades-long economic sanctions and military threats against North Korea. These America-driven sanctions on North Korea are similar to the America-driven sanctions on Iraq: a weapon of mass destruction designed to subvert targeted governments.
And like the Iraqi situation, the "North Korean nuclear issue" is an American propaganda pretext to advance an unrelated, and more sinister, US geopolitical agenda.
Thus, official North Korean government media like KCNA repeatedly casts America and its stooges as the primary threat. But apparently, you know more about the thinking of North Korean rulers than they themselves!
Even your characterization of the border conflicts involving China is equally disingenuous and reiterates American propaganda casting China as the instigator. For instance, China entered the Korean War only *after* America launched an invasion North Korea past the 38th Parallel towards the North Korean/Chinese border (and possibly into China itself).
Mao Ze Dong accurately saw America's invasion as a precursor to a war on China itself.
And that is just as true today, as it was during the Korean War.
Ultimately, America's threats against North Korea are a proxy attack on China (and Russia). America views the Korean peninsula as one strategic bridgehead to control Eurasia (i.e., China and Russia) and to advance America's so-called pivot to Asia, which has China as its not-so-hidden target.
These are all fundamental issues that your "analysis" obscures.

Times have changed. I read the 'pivot to Asia' as a confession that the U.S. can no longer control the MIddle East. It probably no longer has the means to control eastern Asia, either. Hence not long ago there was some ridiculous noise about building some sort of redoubt in Australia. This would indicate a loss of confidence in U.S. ability to preserve Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and so on in the status of client states. The U.S. appears to be in decline; but another state, far closer to North Korea than the U.S., is rising quietly, as they themselves put it.
@ Anarcissie
As stated earlier, you not only claim to know that North Korean leaders worry about an invasion from China more than that from America and its allies like South Korea and Japan—even though NK state media like KCNA routinely called out this American axis as the essential threat.
You not only ignore the reality that it's the America axis that is CURRENTLY threatening North Korea through war games, military maneuvers, economic sanctions, media propaganda, and regime change operations.
But most tellingly, you apparently don't realize that, in terms of actual North Korean military preparations, they are primarily focused on repulsing an attack from America, South Korea, and Japan.
You also dismiss America's so-called pivot to Asia as simply a "confession" that it can no longer control the Middle East. So America moves elsewhere trying to control the much larger East Asian region instead–even though it "probably no longer has the means" to do so?!? Your argument is nonsensical.
It should be obvious that this euphemistic US "pivot" is primarily targeted against China, as part of America's broader ambitions for the region.
As documented by the links that I cited earlier, the USA's threats against North Korea are a *pretext* for expanding America and its allies' domination of Asia in general.
In fact, it's amusing that, the more nervous (or paranoid) rhetoric about America's supposed decline and China's rise that you hear, the more aggressively America is penetrating into regions like the Middle East and East Asia.
In the Middle East, the "axis of resistance" (Iraq, Syria, Iran, Hisbollah) is under siege by America, with Iraq destroyed and Syria and Iran being subject to the USA's dirty covert wars.
In East Asia, America has not only ramped up its war games, weapons sales, and "partnerships" with traditional allies from Japan to Australia, but it is also luring former enemies like Myanmar and Vietnam into its orbit. This is not mention other developments like the expansion of NATO and America's missile "defense" system into Asia.
Ultimately, the USA is waging a global military blitzkrieg that has as its objective nothing less than American global hegemony and the subjugation of all resistance to a Unipolar world order dominated by the USA—or, what the Pentagon touts as American "Full Spectrum Dominance."
It's a good thing that the USSR developed nuclear weapons shortly after the U.S. – in the nick of time. Only the fear of Soviet retaliation is probably what kept the U.S. ruling class from conquering the entire world shortly after WW2.
You may be correct, but nuclear weapons are not omnipotent. And empires are very expensive. In the modern world, every nation-state that has established a serious empire — Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Japan, and so on — has come to ruin, sometimes merely financial ruin, but often enough physical and moral ruin. Even hegemony is ruinous, as the Germans are now finding out — not for the first time. And of course the U.S. is on the same path. Had it conquered the world it would now be much further down that path, assuming its citizenry could have been disciplined into paying the ever-increasing price thus far.
Great article Stephen,as usual..I have always supported the right of the DPRK to defend herself as best she can.I also believe Iran has no choice other than to develop atomic bombs because violence and force are the only things finance capital understands on an international level aswell as at a local level with its police state and its oppressive and destructive political economy.I wish the DPRK every sucsess in her endeavours to build a strong independent nation and for her people to choose their own development course free from the interests of finance capital and the greedy bastards of the west..
@ Prole Center
The U.S. possessed nuclear weapons for a significant time prior to Soviet Union acquisition and translation of such into a viable second-strike capability; U.S. foreign policy, unsurprisingly, cannot be monocausally explained by an eccentric economic-imperial determinism of such unrelenting drive that it would induce world domination. That's some messed up hyper-Marxist rubbish.
@ Stephen Gowans
I broadly agree third wave nuclear states (i.e. 'rogue states') are broadly a manufactured threat to discursively ground U.S. unipolarism, interventionism, and wild defence spending. Further, I agree that DPRK possesses nothing but benign self-preserving intentionality. I have two problems here however:
(1) Nuclear weapons gargantuantly dangerous technological systems which a cursory review of history will indicate are prone to misfire; it possesses both high complexity and minimal trigger time (by which I mean very short reaction times are a necessary part of nuclear weapon systems) – the two attributes conducive of technological accident. The case of North Korea, of which exhibits relative technological unsophistication and lacking IAEA controls and technical assistance, is hardly something to be appraised. We should oppose nuclear weapons indifferently as potential harbingers of world destruction.
(2) You state that nuclear weapons inhere utility by virtue of the fact that they "support the right of a people to organize its affairs free from foreign domination". Two things; (i) the people of North Korea are manifestly unfree, in fact the converse is blatently true, it is an utterly reprehensible totalitarian state; (ii) as such, I fail to see why the oppressive North Korea state apparatus has legitimate claim to sovereignty.
Legalistically speaking — legitimation is a legalistic concept — the oppressive North Korean state apparatus has legitimate claim to sovereignty because of principles established by the Peace of Westphalia, under which states (usually, nation-states) are absolutely sovereign. In order to judge and adjudicate the sovereignty of states it would be necessary to have a soverign higher than they, but there is no such sovereign, or at least has not been in theory since 1648. Ruling classes of states have tended to observe this legalism because to transgress it would impugn their own right to rule absolutely. Part of the exceptional megalomania of the American ruling class is evident in its claim to have some sort of superior right over states it found unsatisfactory, such as Panama, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, and Iraq; they are evidently convinced that no one will ever be able to apply the same principle to their state and to them.
Kronstadt, perhaps instead of repeating bourgeois drivel about "totalitarianism" you should try and understand what actually goes on in the DPRK, what it represents, and how it finds itself in the difficult position it is currently in. Then your opinions might actually be worth reading.
And if you really are opposed to oppression in general and the threat of nuclear war in particular, try directing your ire at the USA, the nation that has caused more death, suffering and destruction than any other in history.
Nuclear weapons do not grant omnipotence.
@AR — My notions of the minds of the North Korean leadership is purely a product of a material analysis of such facts as I am able to discover, and has no moralistic component. I assume those who have power have it because they want to get it and keep it; moralistic considerations are secondary for them, if they exist at all, whether they are Koreans, Chinese, or Americans. So, from whom does the North Korean ruling class have the most to fear? A rising power that is next door, or a declining one whose center and substantial interests are far away?
Consider also that, if the Chinese leadership gets control of North Korea, they may be able to offer South Korea a deal whereby the country can be unified if South Korea kicks the U.S. out. A quasi-neutral unified Korea would be strategically preferable to the present situation from their point of view, and might seem very desirable to Koreans of all classes.
"bourgeois drivel?"
You guys are crazy. Nobody talks like that anymore outside of a communist country or a college classroom. I would surmise that anyone using that term, instead of actually learning about the real world, doesn't know what they're talking about.
This is probably the most well-written piece on the topic that I've ever read. Thank you.

Communism failed.
So Iran allegedly got an extra $150 billion from the nuclear deal when the sanctions are lifted. I wonder why "communism" failed in the DPRK.
Conservatives, when discussing Iran, want to use the high-end figure. So by their estimates, sanctions are quite crippling, and one can infer from their logic (which it is good to hamper Iran's populace) that North Korea is also hampered by such sanctions.

General Information | |||

Height | ~2ft ("Knee-High") | ||
Diet | Carnivorous | ||
Behind the Scenes | |||
Universe | Aliens in the Attic |
The Zirkonians are a species of short, sapient bipeds presumably indigenous to the planet Zirkon. They are known for their pride which causes them to underestimate potential foes. Zirkonians are tridactyl organisms - possessing three phalanges on each limb - and a six-limb physiology. Two of these limb sets are set up as arms with hands with the final set being evolved into digitigrade legs. Another physiological feature worth noting is their ears - for unknown reasons (mainly due to no known studies performed upon them by outside sources), they curl around in a relatively-tight spiral before extending straight out from the head. Presumably this gives them a poor auditory sense. Their blood is a dark color upon oxidation; it may be either red or perhaps a dark "wine-hued" purple.
They seem to be split into at least three "genders": males, females, and engineers. While typical males and females possess claws for slashing opponents, the engineers (which may or may not only adapt from males) have lost their claws in favor of fingers that each split into two secondary fingers.
Because of their minuscule size they appear to generally use molecular expander pads that are sent to planets which are under consideration for invasion. These are used by later sending in a "reconnaissance" team to locate and dig up the pod many Earth years later, deploy it and expand one or more of their members to approximately 30ft tall to place several beacons to bring in a fleet to the exact location and begin invading. Considering that they are not particularly difficult to defeat, they are likely not a galactic threat, unlike other invasive species.
The Zirkonian language is known as Zirkon. Advance teams often learn to speak the language of the inhabitants of the worlds they are invading, yet may require using Zirkon-____ Language Dictionaries to translate their sentences to speak civilly with any inhabitants they may encounter.

What are some great new plays that you have either seen or read?
Asked by kalafatic (145)
November 7th, 2009
I am starting a series of staged readings and am looking for some advice on new plays that you may have encountered recently. Older plays are fine as well, but if it was written in the last 4 or 5 years that would be great. Mostly I just want to know what plays you would go listen to. (A few examples, August: Osage County by Tracy Letts, Ruined by Lynn Nottage, Book of Days by Lanford Wilson, Shipwrecked by Donald Margulies…)

MyVRSpot is the most innovative way to connect true Web 2.0 with curriculum content, combining elements similar to the online publishing of YouTube and the personal space of Facebook. MyVRSpot provides students with a hosted web space (webspot) to upload their videos, audio files, and pictures, all while exploring in the District's "safe backyard." All media is controlled and monitored before going online for others to view. This allows for students to still become those "push button" publishers without the district having to worry about inappropriate content within a multimedia sharing environment. With MyVRSpot, students become researchers, developers, and producers of their own webspot, giving them the sense of ownership.

Former Taliban hostage Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl has been discharged from hospital and moved to a care centre at a Texas military base.
The 28-year-old, who was released on 31 May, had been receiving in-patient treatment at Brooke Army Medical Centre at Fort Sam Houston, but is now receiving out-patient care on the base in San Antonio, the US Army said.
The Army said his "reintegration process" was continuing though his exposure to more people and a gradual increase in social interactions.
Bergdahl, from Idaho, was a prisoner of war for five years after being captured by the Taliban in June 2009. He was freed in a deal struck by the Obama administration in which five senior Taliban figures were released from detention at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The soldier arrived at the Texas medical centre on 13 June after nearly two weeks recuperating at a US military hospital in Germany. Army officials said then that he was in a stable condition and working daily with health care providers to regain a sense of normalcy and move forward with his life.
The latest Army statement said Sgt Bergdahl was receiving counselling from "Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape" psychologists to "continue to ensure he progresses to the point where he can return to duty".
The Army said Sgt Bergdahl's specific location would not be made public.
Sgt Bergdahl disappeared from his post in Paktika province in eastern Afghanistan on June 30, 2009. Some former members of his unit have said that he left of his own accord.
He has not commented publicly on the circumstances of his disappearance, and the Army has made no charges against him, but is investigating Sgt Bergdahl's disappearance and capture.
The Army says investigators will not interview Sgt Bergdahl until those helping him recover say it is appropriate.
