I feel that the United Nations, should be made to do, what it was created for.  To help people of the world, that are in need.  Syrians, and all others need to be made to stand on their own feet. Examples: South Korea, Vietnam, and Cambodia.

Forefathers

Chapter 9 Nothing to Envy

       People are communicating and going back to their forefathers.  Stringing nets, traps, fishing for frogs, but most of all sharing ideas.  Studying the different plants what they could eat.  What fascinates me about reading this chapter are the woman, they bring the collective together.  Woman are a must in every society.    

“To Whom do North Korea’s Leaders Pose the Greatest

Threat and What is the Threat?”

Many would say South Korea, Japan, and the United States.  Because of the economic sanctions, well the sanctions are not working.  The United Nations has passed resolutions against Kim Jong-Il, and now Kim Jong UN.  We cannot control or stop other countries from trading with North Korea. 

North Korea exports goods to China 83%, India 2.5%, Philippines 1.9%, and Pakistan 1.0%.  Other import partners are Russia, Mexico, India, and Thailand.  One of its largest export is (a briquette is compressed brick of coal dust).  It also exports silver, wood products, and processed fish, chemical products, and plastics and rubbers.  The sanctions where put in place to stop Kim Jong-Il from creating nuclear weapons and testing them. 

Getting back to “Nothing to Envy” I believe Kim IL-sung learned very well from Stalin and the others in the Communist bloc. People in those countries were not allow to leave either and Eastern European had to be rebuild and the civilian populace and POW’s were used.  When the armistice came about 7,862 were given back to South Korea but even to this day tens of thousands still are not accounted for. 

Now we have a base for our pyramid.  We must remember after the war there was plenty of food and electricity.  The game Kim IL sung played with the Communist bloc pitting one against the other was a good one, but like any game it had to end.  Labor camps are set up and you have loyalty surveys and the purges.  The hostile is never going to move from the base, they know this, the wavering may move to the core but after such a move they can only go down. 

This is a close society so the Kim’s remember what happen to the Soviet Union, East Germany, and China.  The North Korean leaders have to keep the people believing, that South Korea, Japan, and the United States are the threat. When in reality it’s the North Korean leaders turning in on the people.  The Kim family in order to stay in power must keep the military fed.  The core is Kim Jung-UN and the military.  The Workers Party, The Central Party means nothing the power it has is what Kim Jung-UN says it has.

The relationship between Mi-ran and Jun-sang, Mrs. Song membership to Socialist Women’s Federation, Chang-bo comments about the boots, Oak-hee’s rebellious, Hyuck skipping school, the Black Market, and Dr. Kim speaking out. All these things don’t mean nothing. As long as the masses are spying on each other things are great.  The threat is food, and where is my next meal or my families going“To Whom do North Korea’s Leaders Pose the Greatest

Chapter 5 Victorian Romance

Like fifteen-year-old boys around the world, Jun-sung was full of fear he could never find the courage to approach Mi-ran.  So, he decided to get his boxing friend to get information, and then her sister Mi-sook.  The average American teenage boy his age, would be trying to figure out a way to separate Mi-ran from her panties.  But Jun-sung new what the Great Leader and the Party said.    In a culture where marriages are still arranged and Kim-IL sung says what is good or bad.  “I ask you really”?

Never reveling truths!  That’s love North Korean Style!        ff

Fade To Black:

The Lights Are on But Nobody’s Home

Chapter 4 Fade to Black:

While reading this chapter it dawn on me it was an explosive start, of a decade.  The Soviet Union was being torn apart, communism was on its way out.  North Korea was not though of, it wasn’t a threat Kim IL sung was find.  To show things were okay he allowed, his censors to report the ills of other communist countries.  You can’t tell a lie the same way twice.  I feel these people placed them selfies into a state of denial.  Foe Mrs. Song the lightbulb that blinked, fetching water, and her job. 

Comrade Kang looking for subversive activities, but all the time the food distribution was off. What I mean, by The Lights Are on But Nobody’s Home, the lights were on for scavenging for food, taking care of their families.  Nobody’s home for going to a labor camp, jail, or being made an example of such as being killed.          d

In reading “The True Believer”, it reminded me of this movie called “One, Two, Three”. It was about a young couple who met and fell in love. Scarlett the heiress to the Coca-Cola Company, and Otto was a die heart Communist. In the movie the young man states “Unlike you western Capitalist, we Communist have no, class system”. There is always a class system, a difference between the haves and the have nots.

Like we read there were three broad classes. The core class, the wavering class, and the hostile class. There was a class system in Tae-woo’s family, his son got the best food, shoes, and clothes. Mrs. Song served the best food at Oak-hee wedding. A lot of winking and head noting. Well!!
