North Korea keeps on digging, offers to investigate Sony hack

[XTankSlayerX]

North Korea has ratcheted the absurdity level of the Sony hack up a notch by again pleading its innocence and even offering to help find the real perpetrators. It's so anxious to "help" that it used some particularly bellicose language in warning the US of "grave consequences" if it doesn't undertake a joint probe. While on the one hand denying culpability, the rogue nation's propaganda arm KCNA nevertheless went on in great detail about how the Interview "defamed its dignity," and said it would retaliate if the US refuses to work with it (judging by the rough translation). For now, the movie is still on hold, a decision that was criticized by President Obama and others. However, Sony said yesterday that it hadn't been cowed and may still release the Seth Rogan/James Franco film.

Imagine if this is true. Imagine if it turns out to be Russia or China.

But for now... We can only blame them.

North Korea is about 10 years away from discovering how to make a calculator. 

It may not have explicitly been them, they could have hired someone to do it for them. 

[ObeseWalrus]

Can't we just liberate them already?3

[LifesCompanion]

 

damn it North Korea. 

[Trik'Stari]

DEFAMED IT'S DIGNITY?!

 

You have no dignity North Korea, you starve and enslave your own people for daring to have a different hair cut or set of clothing, let alone not believing that your "dear leader" can talk to dolphins, and is capable of getting a hole in one on every hole in his first game of golf.

 

Can someone PLEASE grow some balls and start something to take this fucking shithole of a country down?

[Astralify]

Why don't you people calm the frek down? You know nothing about the situation and you hurry up to blame.

[Lord Baal]

Wait didn't GOP say they'd release more info if the movie or I'd imagine that scene in particular were leaked? haha

[Trik'Stari]

Why don't you people calm the frek down? You know nothing about the situation and you hurry up to blame.

Because this is one of the most paranoid, horrific, and downright terrible regime's on the planet, claiming to have some kind of dignity and making threats?

People are actually starving because of embargoes...etc.

Back when western countries didn't feed any Korea, South Korea was in very similar situation.

Right, it has nothing to do with the repressive regime that sends people to work camps and works them to death for daring to have a different hair cut, or not wearing the civilian uniform, or not believing that Kim Jong Un can talk to dolphins, etc.

Source?

[Trik'Stari]

Source?

Ummm..... every single fucking last documentary ever made about that country?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea#Human_rights They are often referred to as the most brutalized citizenry in the world. While Wikipedia is not always a legitimate source, it does however have plenty of references. Try reading the book "Aquariums of Pyongyang", the author is a refugee who escaped North Korea.

 

If someone in that country speaks out against the leadership, they don't just imprison you, they imprison your ENTIRE FAMILY, with no chance of release.

Because, you know, making money by selling a book of "non-fiction" consisting of what people wants to hear(but can't verify) about "world's most evil country" isn't a great way to make money...

Again, the tight government management of population came from the poverty out of necessity, not the other way around.

Um, dude..... you're an idiot. This isn't just some author, try amnesty international, human rights watch, etc. This stuff is well known fact. Even the Human Rights commission of the UN has accused them of numerous human rights violation. All north korea does is deny it, call it a smear campaign, and refuse to let anyone into the country in order to investigate. If you travel there from south korea, you can only do so during a certain part of the year, and you are only allowed in certain places, you can't take a camera, if they catch you with a camera, you get arrested and thrown in jail for political crimes, without a trial.

 

Not to mention all of the refugees say the exact same thing. Do some research on it, they are worse than the Nazi's were, but only because they've been allowed to exist for a hell of a lot longer.

Human rights organizations list North Korea as it's own category, with no equal in the entire world.

You need to provide source.

I did dude. How have you never heard any of this? Also, try watching any one of these documentaries made about it.

No you didn't. you posted a bunch of names that meant nothing(you need to post where they got their "facts").

I see lots of sensationalist "documentaries" on youtube.

I give up. If you honestly think all 40 human rights organizations are just making shit up, you're blind. Try doing a little of your own research, it's not my responsibility to educate you.

I did.

I know stories from facts. I'm pretty sure I know plenty of stories you don't; but can't call them facts because no one here can verify them.

And I'm pretty sure the idea that people get sent to work camp for not believing Kim Jon Un talks to Dolphins is something you made up.

40 human rights organizations -> 40 organizations wanting to remain relevant(for the donations) in an improving world that is steadily getting rid of problems.

I don't doubt that there are work camps; but I seriously doubt the reason they were sent there were that easy and that their supposed number of deaths(work-related casualties happen...everywhere...) isn't greatly exaggerated.

North Korea is only "that evil country" if you blindly believe western propaganda.

Not that they are not in terrible condition...

Yeah.... your blind. They get sent to work camps, for even daring to speak out or question something the leadership does (just like every other communist country in the world), The dolphin thing may just be a rumor made up by the internet.

 

The point is, you are still dealing with the most repressive regime on the planet. Like I said, watch the documentaries dude.

You don't need to be in communist country to be censored for doing stupid shit...

I still don't see North Koreans banning alcohol and forcing females to cover faces when outside.

Yeah, like Saddam gassing thousands of Kurds was also made up, Idi Amin killing half a million Ugandans and claiming he single handedly defeating the UK (inventing a title for himself to prove it) was made up, Chairman Mau starving half his country while stockpiling food was also made up and finally Mussolini didn't use the secret police to assassinate his opponents.

Grow up please, dictators can do anything they like, say anything they like and claim anything they like. They're called dictators for a reason.
