Note: just in case you were wondering about the new graphics schtick (masking tape, casual tilt, shadow), it’s just a little fun — you know, my self-entertainment mission here. Tryin’ to make this stuff look mounted on a fridge door or in a scrapbook or some such. It’s also a visual cue that ties the various template formats together. Archives
In what must have been a deeply humiliating act on the part of a DPRK dictator, Kim boarded a chartered foreign jet to meet with the great number-one enemy of everything NorK since 1950. Trump wisely allowed Kim his dignity and his need for the imagery of leadership — Face™.
Make no mistake, this move was history-making on Kim’s part; and he wouldn’t have done it if he hadn’t intended to pursue a new course,
whatever that may turn out to be and for whatever reason (I won’t speculate on either, here).
This new propaganda video crosses the red line of isolationism. Juche is dead as they knew it.
One should probably expect some interesting new propaganda in the near future; you know, fewer rockets and artillery, more food and Levis.
Maybe even a new narration style without all the caffeine.
The history of making failed predictions about an unpredictable future never surprises me.
Reckon most folks would say that “it never ceases to surprise/amaze” them;
but the one thing that is predictable in this world is the fallibility of predictions.
Wouldn’t be surprised if that prediction turned out to be wrong, too.
