Drudge linked to a U.K. Mail Online, story titled, "North Korea threatening a nuclear strike against U.S." I read it of curiosity, because I wanted to see exactly how leader, Kim Jong Un, was planning to do it.
Now, unless I missed it, the article didn’t contain information regarding when, how, or where this attack will specifically happen. However, there was some really interesting other stuff about this Kim Jong Un guy that got me to thinking.
For instance: “UN measures target Kim Jong-Un personally by banning the export of goods such as jewelry, yachts and luxury cars. His father once gave 160 upmarket cars to party officials and his personal expenses were said to be 20 per cent of the national budget.
The new leader is understood to have similar tastes and enjoys a pampered lifestyle. Recently in Italy, cognac and whisky bound for North Korea worth £10,000 and equipment for a 1,000-seat ‘personal cinema’ worth £110,000 were seized. Meanwhile, the regime has tried to import three dozen grand pianos and expensive cosmetics."
At the same time, “A ‘vicious atmosphere of fear' was said to have developed to encourage North Koreans to show their new young leader sufficient respect. The regime has stepped up efforts to enforce the cult of Kim Jong-Un with vehicles in many cities regularly broadcasting praise for him from loudspeakers for 12 hours a day.
While reading the preceding paragraphs, I also remembered my recent entry about Hugo Chavez amassing about two billion dollars while he was Venezuela’s leader, which nobody really mentioned till now.
And then a few minutes later while scanning Fox News on-Line, I came across an article stating that, “Visitors to the nation's capital looking for a White House public tour are out of luck starting this weekend, courtesy of what the Secret Service says is its own decision to deal with the sequester cuts.
But while the agency said it needed to pull officers off the tours for more pressing assignments, the budget ax didn't swing early or deep enough to curtail a host of recent Secret Service-chaperoned trips like President Obama's much-discussed Florida golf outing with Tiger Woods and first lady Michelle Obama's high-profile multi-city media appearances.”
So, what all this boiled down to me was, that while communist and socialist populations ordinarily suffer greatly, their leaders always seem to take extra-special care of themselves financially. And what I’ll never understand if I live to be three thousand, is how the dupes in the masses readily buy the incredible BS the self-serving phonies' at the top keep throwing at them.
And something that keeps coming through loud and clearly is that the most important things these leaders all have in common is control of the military. Because if one of these days their population’s finally wake up and smell the coffee, they’re going to need personal protection very badly and quickly.
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
