I can neither confirm or deny it (mainly because I can't
get Pyongyang), but I have to say it wouldn't suprise
me in the slightest. 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.

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)."

Voice of Korea currently being heard here w/sign on in English at 1601 on
11735. Program is directed to Africa.

Not the best signal by any means, but certainly audible.

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).

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

If its communist anti-America propoganda you want to hear, check out
Radio Havana at frequency 6.000 AM in the evenings USA time. One of
their favorite "news" topics concerns five political prisoners they
claim the US is holding. Also, much anti - 'war on terror' rhetoric.
And not surprisingly, they seem to be favoring Kerry as well.

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.

Wow, do you mean that they have an opinion of their own and are allowed

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.

It's Arnie is it not? (Actually Arnaldo). But at any rate he's simply a
shill for the current Cuban regime.

When Fidel is gone you'll see a sudden transformation and rebirth of
Arnie as he shifts his positions.

Seen it before, and I know with certainty that I'll see it again!

This is not an indictment of Arnie, everyone must operate within the

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 ?

Once the Great Leader dies (assuming he ever actually does,

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

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.
