Yes kiddies, it is that time again, and for your holiday cheer, we will take a look at the Great Leader Kim Il Sung leading the Korean people to victory. He is the mastermind of happiness, worked really hard until he was 80 years of age, and was just an all around nice fellow. Now that he is dead, Kim Jong Il can resume his father’s duties of gulags, torture, mayhem and seclusion. Sit back, relax and enjoy the series (Part 2 Part was posted a long, long time ago). After a while, you will become a true believer.

Read this excellent article on North Korea's market possible reforms by Lankov. it is kind of long, but I enjoyed it.
- #Marcus Noland gives an op-ed regarding the declaration and the effect on trade. Hat tip to NKEconWatch.
- #This is a very good read by Bruce Klingner. Again, there is not much for me to comment on, because this explains everything just fine. In a nutshell, it outlines the problems and the possible solutions.
- #This is a must see documentary. GI Korea has the video for one and all to see. Do it quickly because it could be removed.
- #I updated some of the plugins and added some new ones in case you have not noticed including a widget for the elections of the United States as well as my IM online status. I am usually on, so if any readers want to drop in and say hello, please feel free to do so. Also, make sure to drop into the forums and invite others to join there as well. Thanks!

Ah, it all makes sense now. The video exclaims that in comparison to other world leaders, the two Kims are “superior in thought, highest in the art of literature, and number one in benevolence.” I guess being number one in benevolence means that they accidentally whitled away the nations finances on the Pleasure squads…. while reading too many books. That must be it.
Thanks for all the video updates. Great to see that DPRK Forum is back online. What are the application details for guest articles? I`ve been working on a write up to my DPRK trip that I`m aiming to publish for a small magazine in Tokyo, but thought it`d be nice to have a chance to air a draft of it online.
Best wishes, welcome back to the forum, and happy new year!!

Once you are registered, I can change your status so you can post articles here. I could use some help and other insight. That would be wonderful. Also, you are free to register at the forums and discuss it there too.
Thank you so much for coming back to DPRK forum. I have not done any updates the last couple of days because I have this darn flu.
This is so enlightening! (Sarcasm intended.) Funny, at least twice the narrator makes reference to the year 1994, but there is at least one clip that shows a younger, somewhat slimmer Kim Il Sung with black hair. Interesting to see Kim Il Sung was photographed several times with foreign artists. Does Junior permit group photos with such large foreign delegations? Doubt it.
