The sick world of tyrant Kim Jong Il... However, keep on acquiescing to the criminals in our government, keep on subserviently allowing fundamental rights to be taken (take them, take them, please, just please don't take my cable TV, my Internet porn, and my cheap consumer goods)....And one day you could see similar things in America.

150,000 Witness North Korea Execution of Factory Boss Whose Crime Was Making International Phone Calls

November 27th, 2007

SEOUL, South Korea — A North Korean factory chief accused of making international phone calls was executed by a firing squad in a stadium before 150,000 spectators, a South Korean aid group reported.

Public executions had declined since 2000 amid international criticism but have been increasing, targeting officials accused of drug trafficking, embezzlement and other crimes, the Good Friends aid agency said in a report on the North's human rights.

In October, the North executed the head of a factory in South Pyongan province for making international calls on 13 phones he installed in a factory basement, the aid group said. He was executed by a firing squad in a stadium before a crowd of 150,000.

Six people were crushed to death and 34 others injured in an apparent stampede as they left the stadium, the aid group said.

Most North Koreans are banned from communicating with the outside world, part of the regime's authoritarian policies seeking to prevent any challenge to the iron-fisted rule of Kim Jong Il.

The North in recent months has carried out four similar public executions by firing squad against regional officials and heads of factories, the aid group said.

Seems like quite a paranoid stretch to compare this with America.

At present, it would be quite a stretch - which is why I said "and one day" - meaning "one day in the future."

I dont think you people realize just how expensive those international phone calls are. Something had to be done.

When religion ruled the world...wasn't that the Dark Ages?

What we all don't agree on though is collectivism and statism - which are what have to be embraced before a country can end up as a dictatorship.

The funny thing is that the official name of North Korea is "DPRK - North Korea" Democratic People's Republic of Korea LOL
I allways tell people not to place too much faith in a name - eg The National Socialists --Nazi's. national yes but Soclialist = unlikley!

North Korea is a communist - and therefore a collectivist statist - country. That is a fact.
