  Doesn't this sound a bit familiar?
  
  A whole Nation enslaved in a Mind/Information Control Cult??
  
  "Under threat of severe penalties, the vast majority of North Korea's 22 million people are not allowed any contact with the outside world-- letters, telephone calls, travel, radio or television programs."
  
  "All citizens are required to register their radios with the local police; foreign-made radios are tuned to the state radio frequency, soldered into place and sealed. The police then make unannounced inspections of households with foreign-made radios to verify that they have not been tampered with."

  Some see radio as key to freeing North Koreans from information blackout
  
  Published March 9, 2003 RADI09
  
  
  SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA -- As the Pentagon
  studies moving tons of military hardware within
  striking range of North Korea, some say the
  weapon most feared by the Stalinist government
  there may be a disposable radio the size of a
  cigarette pack.
  
  "Little throwaway radios, you listen, you throw
  away -- the smaller the better, the more
  disposable, the better," said the Rev. Douglas E.
  Shin, a Korean-American human rights activist
  who advocates smuggling thousands of tiny
  radios capable of receiving foreign broadcasts
  into the North.
  
  Radio smuggling is part of a growing public and
  private effort to crack an information monopoly
  in the North that has helped keep the Kim
  family in power for nearly 60 years. So tight is
  the information blackout that defectors report
  they believed that their country -- one of the
  world's poorest -- was wealthier than South
  Korea and that the United States donated rice as
  a form of tribute to the Communist state.
  
  In January Radio Free Asia and Voice of
  America doubled their hours of
  Korean-language broadcasting into North Korea.
  In February Radio Free Asia joined Voice of
  America in broadcasting into North Korea on
  medium wave, accessible with cheap AM radios.
  
  But the first challenge, skeptics note, is that few
  people in the North have the radios -- or the
  courage -- to listen to foreign broadcasts,
  something advocates of the radio say they are
  determined to change.
  
  Under threat of severe penalties, the vast
  majority of North Korea's 22 million people are
  not allowed any contact with the outside world
  -- letters, telephone calls, travel, radio or
  television programs.
  
  All citizens are required to register their radios
  with the local police; foreign-made radios are
  tuned to the state radio frequency, soldered into
  place and sealed. The police then make
  unannounced inspections of households with
  foreign-made radios to verify that they have not
  been tampered with.
  
  "A lot of people in the White House believe the
  Iron Curtain came down because U.S.
  government radio supplied the information that
  created the Velvet Revolution," said an
  American diplomat in Seoul, referring to
  Czechoslovakia's revolt against Communism.
  "But in the case of North Korea, is it the sound
  of one hand clapping? Is it getting in there?"
  
  Advocates of smuggling radios into the North,
  mostly human rights and Christian church
  groups, say their effort is aimed at ensuring that
  someone is indeed listening. Even if only a tiny
  elite tune in, they say, the effect can be
  powerful.
  
  "The populace will suffer a kind of
  psychological collapse when they learn what has
  been done to them and what the real world is
  really like," predicted Radek Sikorski, who grew
  up listening to Voice of America and Radio Free
  Europe in communist Poland and now works at
  the American Enterprise Institute.
  
  "Control of information is absolutely crucial to
  the survival of this regime because the system is
  based on lies," he said.
  
  In a recent manifesto, Sikorski joined 16
  American policy-makers in demanding that the
  Bush administration tie talks with North Korea
  over its nuclear weapons program to an opening
  on human rights, including freer information.
  
  The group called for "significantly expanding
  the current, scandalously inadequate
  Korean-language Radio Free Asia broadcasts."
  
  Already, in a small office rented on the seventh
  floor of a Seoul newspaper building, Radio Free
  Asia broadcasters try to bring to North Koreans
  four hours of news a day.
  
  The radio also gives practical information for
  defectors -- how to contact missionary groups in
  northern China, how to dress and behave to
  escape arrest and deportation to North Korea.

  Hi, I just discoverd a way to post today to the forum under this new format. I did reply to your post at:
  
  http://members2.boardhost.com/newlight2/msg/914.html
  
  This is a copy and paste of that post.
  
  Hi Neal,
  
  I trust that you can find your way back here to see my posts to
  you. I still am unable to post on JWD, since Simon changed the
  board. I can only post on his site from the Library.
  
  I'm so glad that you have found a place to stay that is close to a
  library so that you can use their equipment to locate a job. In the
  big city, there should be some where that will assist you in your
  quest for a job. All you need to do is to find that conection. Ask
  around at the shelter, maybe someone there can even assist you
  in finding the right job for you.
  
  Keep us posted,

  Enter "Alpha and Omega" into the search engine on this site and you should come up with what you are looking for. I saw a thread about this not too long ago.

  Yizuman's Updated Report - Part Four

  by Yizuman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok folks, this is going to be my last updated report since some people are whining and complaining about my postings (it seems they don't want to see any kind of postings from me at all).. i submitted my motion at the clerk's office for a continous or postponement monday afternoon and my sis called the clerk's office the next day around 11 am and she drove by my house to tell me my motion got denied.

  so i had to go to court this wednesday.. so i showed up in court with my sister and her two daughters who brought their homeschooling materials.

  then larry the landlord showed up then finally my interpreter showed up.. so i sat around waiting for our names to be called and we approached the judge when he was ready for us.. larry made his statement and i made mine.

  Sorry to hear of your court outcome with the landlord. I was hoping that you could find the needed money to bring your account up to date, so that you would not be evicted.

  Did the Judge mention anything about being allowed to stay if he was paid in full?

  I'm still interested in hearing updates on your situation. You can post them at my board.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's amazing that after one panicked post i made in december that was considered a mistake after getting flamed for it and i retracted my post and apologized for it.

  people have chided me for making this mistake and i learned my lesson.. now people are obsessed with my one single mistake asking for financial help which i do not do anymore.

  I've been asking for the posters on JWD to be more sensitive to your plight, but it still fails to do much good.
