Here's an article: http://straitstimes.asia1.com.sg/world/story/0,4386,238539,00.html A quote from the article: " His speeches are being broadcast on Radio Pyongyang and reported in glowing terms by the Korea Central News Agency (KCNA)." |

North Korea is an old style Communist country (which is also going down the toilet; the two facts are not unrelated) and uses old fashioned propaganda methods. To their mind Bush is the enemy; Kerry is against Bush; therefore, they support Kerry, regardless of his politics. The only thing that would make the slightest difference to them would be if Kerry said North Korea was an incompetant dictatorship that had to be deposed. THEN Pyongyang would treat him like the Anti-Christ, and call for his execution as an international war criminal. You can ignore North Korea. What they say is of no importance in U.S. domestic politics. FW |

Here's an article on it. It would be logical for him to want to be rid of
Bush, and hope for a Democrat to return to the ridiculous Clinton policy of payoffs (while Jong-il pretends not to build nukes). -- Stinger North Korea warms to Kerry presidency bid By Andrew Ward in Seoul and James Harding in Washington Published: March 4 2004 20:24 | Last Updated: March 4 2004 20:24 North Korea's state-controlled media are well known for reverential reporting about Kim Jong-il, the country's dictatorial leader. But the Dear Leader is not the only one getting deferential treatment from the communist state's propaganda machine: John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic candidate, is also getting good play in Pyongyang. In the past few weeks, speeches by the Massachusetts senator have been broadcast on Radio Pyongyang and reported in glowing terms by the Korea Central News Agency (KCNA), the official mouthpiece of Mr Kim's communist regime. The apparent enthusiasm for Mr Kerry may reflect little more than a "better the devil you don't know" mentality among the North Korean apparatchiks. Rather than dealing with President George W. Bush and hawkish officials in his administration, Pyongyang seems to hope victory for the Democratic candidate on November 2 would lead to a softening in US policy towards the country's nuclear weapons programme "Keith" -SPAM wrote in message ...

You can ignore North Korea. What they say is of no importance in U.S. domestic politics. FW ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Yes they are as irrelevant as the American populace when it comes to actually mattering when it comes to U.S. national politics. The twiddle dee and twiddle dum confidence game called U.S. politics forges onward. Very sad. Mack |
Wow, do you mean that they have an opinion of their own and are allowed
to air it unlike other media organizations in the "free" U.S of A? How unpatriotic of them! Freedom fries all the way! I'm not defending communist Cuba or N. Korea, but just open your mind and think that maybe you are not getting the 'real' news all the time.

I've listened to Havana's "news" a few times, and they seem to be more
60s type "New Left" than Pyongyang, which is more old line Stalinist. Two completely different branches of Communism. I have a contact I met thru Radio Netherlands in Cuba...He ask for simple items like Celine Dion CD, old magazines, etc He always sends me postcards or some other junk that has no value. I attribute this to his socio-economic status. Imagine if I had a pen-pal in North Korea~what would that be like ? spd |

El Jefe was only in his 20s when he marched out of the hills with Che Guevara and overthrew Bautista. I think he's now in his late 70s, so he could conceivably live another 20 years. I think a great deal will depend on Fidel's Brother. They say he's the nasty one. Everybody thought that North Korea would be freed when Kim Il Sung died, but his son easily took over. So it's concievable, but I imagine Fidel's hermano is getting up in age too, so eventually the old guard will run out of time. |
