In the Chosun Ilbo newspaper this morning : around a hundred North Korean refugees were rounded up by North Korean agents in China recently. "Rounded up" is the appropriate phrase to use, as not only were these people, amongst whom were children and grandparents, bound hand and foot with wire, but holes were punched through their septums and rings inserted, like cattle, to lead them back to the f--king fatherland.

Is this front page propaganda, or did it really happen?

Who knows any more? Recent experiments by the scum in power in America have shown pretty conclusively that propaganda doesn't need to be subtle to be effective, just emotive. And the image of these poor, hungry people, strung together via iron rings passed through their noses, blood dripping down their upper lips as they are led back to the living hell that is North Korea, is certainly emotive.

But this comes a week before more visits between separated families are scheduled to happen, and not long after the South Korean envoy returned from an extended and fruitful visit to the North, so it seems unlikely that the report is sheer propagandizing, perhaps.

My vote is that it did happen, and the Chinese allowed it to happen. Aren't people great? Don't you just love them? Sweetness and light, beauty and peace, follow us all the days of our lives, don't they?

Like f--k they do.
