November 2 DPRK Press Statements

Have sanction, pressure and threats stopped us?

They have only made us stronger.

The DPRK will never tolerate any attempt to threaten the security environment of the state.

This year alone, the U.S. and the ROK have further detailed a dangerous nuclear war scenario while breeding various sorts of war plots more than 20 times to use nuclear weapons against the DPRK, including the third meeting of the "Nuclear Consultative Group" and the 5th meeting of the "Extended Deterrence Strategy and Consultation Group".

According to it, various strategic assets of the U.S. including the Theodore Roosevelt nuclear carrier task force, Bermont nuclear submarine and B-52H nuclear strategic bomber were deployed on the Korean peninsula and in its vicinity more than ten times and various forms of war drills against the DPRK including "Freedom Shield", "Ulji Freedom Shield", "Freedom Edge", "Iron Mace", "Nuclear Consultative Group simulation drill" and "Freedom Flag" were staged without a break this year.
...
The DPRK will perfectly defend its sovereign right, security and development interests under any circumstances and further intensify its practical efforts to ensure the permanent stability of the Korean peninsula and the region in a responsible manner and resolutely counter any threat and challenge in the present and future.

The more provocative act the hostile forces take in defiance of the DPRK's grave warning, the stronger counteraction they will face.

DPRK Ministry of Foreign Affairs reports that it will not confirm whether troops from the Korean People's Army (KPA) have been dispatched to Russia, but says that the action would be legal under international law.

Vice Foreign Minister of DPRK Clarifies Stand on Rumor of Troop Dispatch to Russia

Pyongyang, October 25 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Gyu, vice foreign minister of the DPRK in charge of Russian affairs, gave the following answer to a question raised by KCNA on Friday as regards a rumor that the troops of the Korean People's Army are dispatched to Russia which is recently drawing public attention in the world:

I heeded the rumor of the dispatch of KPA troops to Russia, which the world media is building up public opinion.

The DPRK Foreign Ministry does not directly engage in the things of the Ministry of National Defence, and does not feel the need to confirm it separately.

If there is such a thing that the world media is talking about, I think it will be an act conforming with the regulations of international law.

There will evidently exist forces which want to describe it as illegal one, I think. -0-

I don't want a state to tell me what I can and can't do with my personal life as long as I'm not doing harm to anyone else.

Here's why this take is wrong. Gambling is never a "I'm not doing harm to anyone else" situation. Gambling is always a material relationship between 2 people or more people. You may feel like gambling is a personal situation because of alienation, but it is not. If you are playing a slot machine for example, you are in a material relationship with the slot machine owner. In this situation, the slot machine owner has a power advantage over you and is exploiting you. In cases of sportsbetting or card games, you are doing material transfers between people over arbitrary terms and the casino owner is always taking a cut. Gambling is always harming someone else. If you win at gambling, it is because you harmed someone else. If you lose at gambling, then it is because someone else harmed you.

To go further into why into why gambling is an exploitative relationship. Gambling is a transfer of unearned value. Money is a representation of value. Value comes from performing labor. When you are a proletarian and sell your labor, you are receiving money (a material representation of value) in exchange for your labor, usually the money you receive is worth less than the value of labor you performed. When you gamble, you are not doing any labor (you are not producing anything) but you are potentially receiving money. You receive money from speculation. In selling your labor, you receive value equal or less than the value you produce with labor. In gambling, you receive value for producing no value. This is the same reason why the bourgeoisie is a parasitic class, because they extract value without producing value.

Today @ 9 PM EST, I will be playing the Donald Trump vs Kamala Harris Debate at the link above. I played the Biden v Trump debate on the same channel. For the Biden v Trump debate, we had around 200 hexbear users in the chat. Before/after the debate, I will play news and commentary related to the debate. The video feed will be streamed from youtube.

I am choosing to not watch the debate on /c/movies because of their usage of peertube (tankietube). Before the debate they are playing Sopranos from peertube. Using peertube exposes your IP address to other users which is why their thread mentions using a VPN. Peertube will not be allowed in the channel that I linked.

Republican National Convention (RNC) starts today. American hogs are going to go wild for the next 4 days. Trump will become the official Republican Presidential Nominee today.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: The number of Americans who think you're too old to serve has doubled since 2020. Wouldn't a clear-eyed political calculus tell you that it's gonna be much tougher to win in 2024?.

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Not when you're running against a pathological liar. Not when he hadn't been challenged in a way that he's about to be challenged. Not when people--

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: You've had months to challenge him.

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Oh, sure, I had months, but I was also doin' a hell of a lot of other things, like wars around the world, like keeping NATO together, like working-- anyway. But look.

I think this is an important quote from the interview, not included in the article you link. Biden says that he was too busy to campaign against Trump because he was doing wars around the world. He was starting wars around the world. He admits that his interests in doing wars is more important than anything else. Biden is a bloodthirsty ghoul.

This isn't a guide to opsec as much as it is a guide to paranoia. Step 1 of OPSEC is figuring out your threat model, knowing who is trying to surveil you and why.

If you are simply trying to avoid being doxxed online by right wingers, pretty much every software you listed is extremely excessive. Just don't reuse usernames or passwords on different website and you are fine pretty much. Don't post your real name.

If you are trying to avoid surveillance by google or amazon, this is extremely difficult to the extent that you have to avoid most social media, block javascript on most websites making them nonfunctional, and even if you use a VPN, most people probably configure it incorrectly so that it's still leaking DNS or something.

If you are trying to avoid being surveilled by the government, your first mistake is owning a computer and a cellphone. Pretty much every computer and cellphone is known to have hardware backdoors since at least 2009. If you think you are going to avoid government surveillance, you're going to have to be using some pre-2008 computer and rotating out burner phones.

Besides that, pretty much everything you listed is a waste of time and effort. It's a fun hobby maybe. It's like when chuds spend thousands of dollars to buy some "zombie survival kit".

Posts like this operate on the premise that you should be hiding that you are a Leftist. Socialism is only going to come through public-facing organizing of the working class.

What does real opsec look like? Knowing that you are being surveilled when you use any electronic device and not saying things that could incriminate you. Treat electronic devices like you are in a public space. When you shop at Walmart, you know that there are cameras that are recording you while you shop. Does that stop you from shopping at Walmart? No you just take in consideration that you are being recorded.

His main character flaw is that he's deeply insecure and emotionally immature. For the entire 6 seasons he's afraid that people will find out that he plays saxophone because he thinks it will emasculate him. Conservatives don't recognize this character flaw because they have the same character flaw in themselves.

Conservatives don't realize that Dwight Schrute and Ron Swanson are parodies which mock conservatives.

I think it's probably best to ignore this. Keffals did the "why I left the left" grift a long time ago. The last time I checked Keffals twitter was around October/November last year. She was harassing JT (Second Thought) for making videos against Israel and she was posting to twitter that "tankies" are worse than the IDF.

Also whoever is going after Keffals is probably a reactionary. They're probably going to say that Keffals is bad because she is a communist and transgender. The youtube drama community is very transphobic. Also Keffals isn't a communist.

The Iron Man 1&2 movies were funded by the USDoD after all. Most Hollywood movies that have military equipment or military bases in them are funded by the USDoD. The USDoD gives studios access to military equipment and military bases in exchange for allowing the USDoD to have creative control over the film.

In this short video the role of the DOD in making Iron Man more visually spectacular is referred to by the Air Force Entertainment Liaison Project Officer Capt. Bryon McGarry, who talks of their aircraft as ‘production value’. One of the producers Jeremy Latcham spoke of how impressed he was by the sheer amount of military hardware in some shots, estimating it was worth ‘a billion and a half dollars’. These comments suggest that the DOD knows that it has the ability to add extra production value to movies that no one else can provide, and thus it places them in a position not just to influence scripts, but to influence which movies become the biggest blockbuster hits. Thus they have some control not just over individual films but over the shape of the entire Hollywood industry.

Yesterday Alan Dershowitz went on Fox News and said that his accusers are all supporters of Hamas.
