‘The puppet regime of traitors’ – is the language of totalitarian ignorance universal?

Current North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un

North Korea has threatened war on South Korea for laughing at its failed missile launch and sending out ships to collect the debris as trophies and for investigation.

The North Korean dictatorship has released a statement through its news agency, the very same one which reported in satisfied tones on its ambassador’s meetings with Joseph Muscat and George Abela but said nothing, for reasons which strike me as obvious, about his meeting with Tonio Borg.

“The puppet regime of traitors must apologise immediately for their grave crime of smearing our Day of Sun festivities” or the North Korean people and military “will release their volcanic anger and stage a sacred war of retaliation to wipe out traitors on this land”, the statement said.

It sounds just like the Mintoff/Muscat supporters who infest the comments-boards of timesofmalta.com and maltatoday.com.mt, and who occasionally pop in here when they understand through Fejsbuk that ‘dik’ has written something about their raddled hero, Yana’s dad.

    Quite a ferocious statement. Do they have Facebook?

      On the laptops they sell in Korea? You only get praises to the Supreme Leader on it, and not enough memory to write a ‘poyem’

    It seems that the morale of the North Korean people is low after the Kwang-my-ongsong-3 satellite, which was launched after Joseph Muscat expressed himself in favour of its legitimacy, “failed to enter its orbit.”

    Hence the need to instigate some hate against the puppets and the imperialists.

    Meanwhile, in major news in Pyong Yang, the dear Generalissimo (Supreme Commander) is busy signing autgraphs, taking pictures and issuing threats to South Korea, while Joseph and his Party Central Committee think that he is busy working on “shining achievements in economic construction.”

      It might be an omen

    Min mhux maghna kontra taghna – mela morru aharqu it-Times, sawtu lil haddiema li ma jidhlux mal-GWU, intimidaw lil min jaqra it-Times u In-Nazzjon u kisser id-dar tal -leader tal-oppozizzjoni.

    Kont tafhom dawn, Yana?

  5. Pyong Young says:

    For the North Korean central news agency, every noun has an adjective.

    A negative one if it describes the enemy:

    “What is intolerable is that the puppet group is busy with the above-said smear campaign while decrying the celebrations of the Day of the Sun…”

    A positive one if it describes something North Korean:

    “The grand festival held to mark the 100th Day of the Sun amid the great jubilation and excitement of all the Koreans and people of the rest of the world was a manifestation of boundless praise of the whole Korean nation and humankind of Kim Il Sung…”

    Here’s another poem dedicated to more soldiers of steel who also think a missile program is a national prerogative. 1:10.

    Leo Brincat was being extremely disingenuous when he labelled a meeting at Castille to clarify Malta’s obligations to international shipping sanctions on Iran as something suspicious.

    What is it he’s saying? That Malta should openly declare its neutrality and ignore them?

    When it comes to diplomacy, Labour need to choose between the international community and the ridiculous clause. We’re waiting for their international secretary to come up with an idea.

    Now that Jeffrey spilled the beans and Maltatoday uploaded this country’s hidden sentiments regarding Israel, it is an obligation.

  8. Angus Black says:

    What the Labour Party perceives as ‘being on the right side of history’ is so obviously wrong.

    Integration: Wanted to sell Malta – renounce our identity – our flag – our ‘sovereignty they harp on so much…

    Independence – their way or no way although admittedly they achieved years later through declaring Malta a republic (with the NP’s help)
    Anti EU campaign – lost referendum and ensuing election: expected Malta to follow Labour’s failed policies of begging for aid, door to Communist door.
    Mintoff – Dumink and now Yana: Through Joseph, they want to throw us back to the days of ‘Bajtar tax-xewk u kappar’ and low paying jobs.
    Joseph Muscat: Through ‘hindsight’ he acknowledges that his ‘Made in Brussels’ and anti-EU rants were wasted time and energy but imperiled Malta losing all the EU funds and multitude of projects only affordable through EU funds. Since he cannot get anything right he resorts to the only tool remaining in his arsenal – lies, misinformation and spinning hoping that more naive will buy his drivel. He forgets that the young generation is more open minded and better educated than that of the Socialist times when Education was kicked in the teeth and was regarded as an unnecessary burden on the Treasury. Owning a computer required an import licence and diplomas and degrees were regarded as ‘pieces of paper good for wrapping anchovies in’.

    Yana, educate yourself, learn about the other side of your father’s dismal story and realize that the resentment towards your father will last until the last of those who experienced the unnecessary hard times during his iron fist rule, pass on. Even so, the Labour Party will always be known as the negative party – il-Partit tal-Le and a party which is devoid of forward vision but which constantly looks at the rearview mirror while ignoring the inevitable oncoming unavoidable economic difficulties created (not in Malta) by a world recession and a Euro crisis.

    Whilst everyone seems intent on focusing on events which happened decades ago, here we all are AGAIN, kissing and hugging with our newly found pet dictator friends from Qatar.

    Some democracy they have running there! We never learn do we! And all lovey dovey with Lbya’s NTC, who although miles ahead of the gaddafi regime, should be being put under pressure to get their act together, and to sort out the baltant daily abuses and breaches of human rights happening there. But no…. business comes first, again.

    Addled. As in rotten, decaying eggs.

    Definition poached (excuse the pun!) online – “lacking freshness, palatability, or showing deterioration from age”, and “confused and vague; used especially of thinking”.

    The extra R apart, a perfect description summed up in one word.

    The international languages every socialist speaks are hate and envy.

    A minute of silence in memory of the rocket scientists who have surely been executed.
