North Korea's Luxury Water Park Opens, Still Waiting For The Ski Resort

North Korea (DPRK) is piss poor. Outside of the capital Pyonyang the people are starving. They have a zillion people holed up in labor/prison camps all over the country, and Kim Jong-un is building luxury ski resorts and water parks, for tourists and the privileged class.

The ski resort, meant to show the world that the DPRK is "civilized" was slated to open on October 10th, it did not, which means some comrades have probably landed themselves- along with their entire family- in one of those labor camps.  Apparently when the current 'dear leader' was a young lad studying in Switzerland (under an alias), he became enamored of skiing, so now he wants one for himself. Located about a 4 hour ride from Pyonyang, in the Masik Pass, resort plans include two hotels, chalets, ski runs and lifts and some fun sleigh rides.

What did just manage to open is the humongous, luxurious Munsu Water Park, and they're all mighty proud of it. There are even a few foreign diplomats in attendance. Check out the perfectly orchestrated opening ceremony video here, including matching swim suits. Most look like they're having so much fun. It's got everything you could want including a gym, so all those uber-skinny, hungry people can bulk up a bit.

What a creepy place. One of the last places I would visit as long as the Kim-god dynasty is in control.

Similar Nazi and Soviet Propaganda Posters- Gallery

Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty has posted some decades-old posters of Nazi and Soviet Union propaganda posters that are staggeringly similar.

With their emphasis on totalitarianism, rigid ideology, and personality cults, it's safe to say that Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union had many common characteristics. Both regimes also had great faith in propaganda to promote their political ideas. This comparative collection of Nazi and Soviet posters compiled by the website gulag.ipvnews.org appears to indicate that the two authoritarian systems also had an uncannily similar aesthetic and approach to graphic design.

And for a similar totalitarian, rigid ideology that happens to come in the form of a religion, you have this Palestinian adopting the same 'Sieg Heil' salute as above.

North Korea Invades The South Korea -Another propaganda video

More North Korean propaganda. In this video we are treated to the DPRK invasion of South Korea.

Correction: Initially I mentioned it was the U.S.- oops

The people of North Korea are being bombarded with this type of propaganda.

Bizarre Anti-American Propaganda Film From North Korea

The latest anti-U.S. propaganda from North Korea (DPRK). A documentary depicting how the majority of Americans live today.

This has got to be a joke, at least the English narrative translation, but it's pretty darn funny, whether it is or not. It basically says:

The vast majority of American live in extreme poverty, drinking coffee made with snow, living in tents, buying guns to kill children, and using heroin. At one point, they point out that there are no birds (it's winter) because people are so hungry they eat them. They are yummy.  The American Red Cross provides curtains and walls from material from the DPRK. And people keep their dead friends in blue body bags close by. Then there's reference to a man that looks homeless as being a former Republican candidate, who has to get coffee made from snow. And only one cup per day, thank you very much. Some lucky people get to live indoors, huddled together "the poor, the cold, the lonely and the homosexual." 

North Korean People- Nuke The Yankees

North Koreans talk about their hatred for Americans and how the DPRK should nuke 'em for causing all their troubles.

There was probably a soldier aiming a gun at their heads, or they'd been threatened with a nice trip to one of the prison concentration camps.

Poor ignorant people.

North Korea Dreams Of U.S. Destruction- Part 2

From North Korea, or the preferred DPRK (Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea), "Peace is on our Bayonets" sung by a bunch of skinny, mean-looking military dudes.  The only one who is obviously well fed is the new dear leader Kim Jong-un.

And on the screen behind the military band, more dreams of the demise of the United States with footage of captured American soldiers, the destruction of the U.S. Capitol, and a load of missiles firing at, one can only assume, the U.S.

What a life. And there are actually people who admire the North Korean government.
