Comrades!
While the crisis of capitalism forces the Dow Jones capitalist lackeys to
strangle their reptile organ, the DPRK's online presence continues to grow
in both quantity and quality, guided by the rays of the great Juche idea
and the solicitude of the fatherly Leader. (Motherly too, as Brian Myers
recently pointed out in his coruscating piece in Atlantic Monthly.)
To wit (and apologies if everyone except me knows this already):
1. I've just been alerted to a new website for North Korean publications.
It looks pretty comprehensive. (A varied bill of fare, too: see below.)
Korea publications Export & Import Corporation /
Beijing Sunyong Scientific Technology trade Co., Ltd.
http://www.korea-publ.com Email:admin at korea-publ.com
2. Also, the main North Korean Naenara site (www.kcckp.net), which
we discussed here back in July, has now become far more user-friendly.
No need to register any more, and you can access recent issues of the
Pyongyang Times, Korea Today, Foreign Trade of the DPRK, and more.
(The link to KCNA seems not to work; but that, as ever, is available
directly at http://www.kcna.co.jp)
Among other resources, this includes the full text of the DPRK Constitution;
and also of no fewer than 38 different laws and regulations pertaining
to foreign business (at http://www.kcckp.net/en/trade/trade-rule.php)
Other delights include sections on art, tourism, politics and more. You can
also listen to music - in theory. In practice, repeated buffering problems
marred my enjoyment of the Korean People's Army Merited Chorus
(eleven full CDs available: you can even follow the musical score).
While clearly still a work in progress, this is a thoroughly professional
site
(with North Korean characteristics), and extremely useful.
Fraternally,
