Spokesperson for Foreign Ministry of DPRK Gives Answer

Pyongyang, July 4 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea gave the following answer to a question raised by KCNA on July 3 as regards the fact that the U.S. judicial authorities recently prosecuted DPRK citizens on the suspicion of a "cyber crime" and put them on a wanted list:

The recent incident is an absurd smear campaign and grave violation of sovereignty aimed at tarnishing the image of our state as it is a continuation of the hostile move of the successive U.S. administrations that have talked much about the non-existent "cyber threat" from the DPRK.

The Foreign Ministry of the DPRK expresses serious concern over the U.S. judicial authorities' provocation which is threatening and encroaching on the security, rights and interests of our citizens by fabricating the groundless "cyber" drama, and strongly denounces and rejects it.

The real threat of creating international cyberspace instability comes not from the DPRK but from the U.S.

The U.S. has long been posing a constant threat to the cyber security of the DPRK and other sovereign states by making cyber space a scene of battle and abusing the cyber issue as a political weapon to tarnish the image of other countries and impair the exercise of their legitimate rights.

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea has the right to take a proper and proportionate countermeasure to thoroughly protect the security and rights of its citizens from the judicial enforcement for a sinister political purpose, and to call to strict legal account the outsiders who took malicious action.

We will never tolerate any hostile act of the U.S. to encroach upon our state's sovereignty through groundless slander and illegal application of judicial means but will firmly defend the legitimate rights and interests of the citizens. -0-

Founded as a paramilitary Zionist organization in 1923, Betar Worldwide has a prominent far-right chapter in the US that has aided the Trump administration’s deportation efforts by doxxing and agitating against pro-Palestine organizers.

The chat logs show its members, including individuals publicly affiliated with Betar US, discussing a range of plans and ideas: to protest at mosques, burn Qurans to provoke confrontations, and coordinate buying pepper spray, lasers, and other illicit devices to confront pro-Palestine protests in New York City.

In that same chat, others shared that they are collecting information on pro-Palestine activists to forward to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as well as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Sight Spot Appears on East Coast as New Scenic Beauty of Socialist Cultural Efflorescence

Inaugural Ceremony of Wonsan Kalma Coastal Tourist Area Held with Splendor

Pyongyang, June 26 (KCNA) -- Thanks to the firm revolutionary will of the Workers' Party of Korea to bring about the shining efflorescence of socialist civilization on our land in our own way with our own resources, entities of new life and new wellbeing are created one after another in different parts of the country. In the days of such rejuvenation, a modern coastal tourist area was created on the Kalma peninsula, famous for its beautiful seaside scenery, greeting the auspicious time of inauguration.

The Wonsan Kalma area, in which hundreds of buildings of modern beauty of various forms have been built in harmony with the scenery of the coastal area widely known for an outstanding landscape from olden times to form a perfect artistic compatibility and connectivity, is a coastal tourist city of our own style without an equal in the world both in name and reality.

The tourist area houses hotels and hostels with accommodations for nearly 20 000 people that the guests at home and abroad can choose according to their tastes. It has sea-bathing service facilities, various sports and recreation facilities and commercial and public catering facilities fully equipped with all conditions and cultural life bases for providing the beauty of the scenic spot on the east coast in all seasons, excitingly picturing a 4km-long stretch of beach to be crowded with the people every year.

The change in the Wonsan Kalma area, a great auspicious event of the whole country, is a brilliant fruition of the profound thinking and undying efforts of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who unfolded a grand blueprint for building a world-class cultural resort and saw to it that all the edifices are perfectly created staking the dignity of our state and the honour of our generation. And it is a prelude to the new era of our country's tourist industry came along with the great spirit of service of the Workers' Party of Korea which is steadily carving out a new sphere of socialist civilization and an important cultural progress that made a weighty milestone in the building of our own-style tourist industry.

The inaugural ceremony of the Wonsan Kalma coastal tourist area, a proud and encouraging creation that redoubles the patriotic enthusiasm of our people to outpace the world, was held with splendor on June 24.

The venue of the inaugural ceremony was full of pride of the builders who proudly built a wonderful cultural tourist resort for the people by upholding the noble intention of the great Party Central Committee with vigorous struggle and extraordinary mettle of creation, and the joy of the working people who feel the birth of the proud coastal tourist city of national value.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un attended the inaugural ceremony.

When Kim Jong Un arrived, stormy cheers of "Hurrah!" resounded far and wide.

All the participants paid the highest tribute to Kim Jong Un, the great master of creation and construction and the dear father, who is ushering in a new era of prosperity and development full of laughter and happiness of the people with the ardent desire to provide the beloved people with a brighter and richer life and new civilization and with his brilliant wisdom and energetic leadership practice.

Present at the ceremony were the members of central leadership body of the Party including leading cadres of the Party and government, officials of ministries and national agencies, military and civilian builders, officials and employees of the units in charge of construction and operation and officials, working people and youth and students in Kangwon Province and Wonsan City.

The Russian ambassador to the DPRK and his embassy members were invited as special guests.

The national anthem of the DPRK was played.

Pak Thae Song, premier of the DPRK Cabinet, made an inaugural address.

The inauguration of the coastal tourist area, which has emerged on the beautiful Kalma peninsula as a masterpiece of Korean-style tourism, demonstrating the tremendous strength and rapid development of our state, is a clear proof of the inexhaustible creativity and vigorous practical ability of socialist Korea which makes a new history of great change and civilization, the premier said, expressing warm militant tribute in the name of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea and the government of the DPRK to all the builders who have powerfully demonstrated the spirit of the DPRK which splendidly paves the way for the eye-opening development toward future with such precious wealth.

He went on:

The Kalma peninsula, which can be called the coastal scenic spot with the best ecological environment, has assumed a new elegant and modern appearance - this is an epoch-making change that can be made only by our Party.

It is a symbol of the great dignity and wellbeing of the people upheld by the people-first politics of our Party and the socialist system of our own style. Herein lies the true meaning of the coastal tourist area and beauty peculiar to it and the noble state no tourist attractions can reach.

He said that Kim Jong Un energetically led the work to make sure that the worthwhile grand construction for providing the DPRK people with the most civilized recreation ground in the world is dynamically accelerated as the Party and state work.

The speaker stressed that the valuable teachings of Kim Jong Un, who developed judgment of officials while giving meticulous guidance to thousands of architectural layouts, saw to it that all the structures in the tourist area are completed at the highest level and gave detailed solution to all the issues including the one of establishing unique service methods and capabilities, are a great encyclopedia that comprehensively deals with the orientation and ways for building a tourist industry in the new era.

Noting that Kim Jong Un visited the construction site despite the wild sea wind several times a year to call upon the builders to present the coastal tourist area to the people by building it into a cultural recreation ground without an equal in the world, the speaker said that his ardent appeal redoubled the loyalty and patriotic faith of all the builders and powerfully encouraged them to the heroic labour struggle. The speaker referred to the fact that the builders successfully erected grand miraculous edifices, creating amazing construction speed, advanced methods and model experience one after another, cherishing the sacred mission of implementing the intention of the great Party Central Committee on the road of breaking a new ground of tourist culture.

The erection of the world-level coastal tourist city, the best marine park, by our own efforts is the valuable honour and worth of our generation which holds in high esteem the great leader who is making a new history of rejuvenation and prosperity in which men, mountains and streams and times are undergoing change beyond recognition through the dynamic construction revolution, the speaker said, adding that the Wonsan Kalma coastal tourist area will shine as a monument to the people-first idea and leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea.

The premier said that the eye-opening change made on the Kalma peninsula through the indomitable pioneering and fortitude indicates a new watershed for comprehensive prosperity to be certainly approached by the state and people of the DPRK despite all difficulties, calling upon all the people to make a dynamic advance with higher ideals and dreams for the future of our state which will be turned into a paradise for the people along the road set by the Party Central Committee.

Kim Jong Un cut the inaugural tape.

Enthusiastic cheers were raised and fireworks of celebrations displayed and balloons flown up, beautifully decorating the clear and blue sky over Myongsasimni.

Kim Jong Un went round various places of the Wonsan Kalma coastal tourist area including the Myongsasimni Outdoor Wading Pool, the Kalma Moranbong Hotel and the Myongsasimni Hotel together with leading officials of the Party and the government.

Enjoying a bird's-eye view of the coastal tourist city which presents a grand sight, he said with great satisfaction that what he wanted to do most for the people and the Party's cherished desire into which it has thrown energy for a long time were translated into a brilliant reality and our inexhaustible spirit of pioneering was fully demonstrated once again through the gigantic construction.

Noting that all the structures in the Wonsan Kalma area are the monumental edifices that comprehensively represent the mature phase of our architecture which has rapidly made a leap forward with each passing year, he expressed his deep emotion over the building of an eye-opening entity to be recorded as one of the greatest successes this year concluding the implementation of the decisions made at the Eighth Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea.

Saying that the Wonsan Kalma coastal tourist area should play a leading role in establishing the tourist culture of the DPRK, he stressed the need for all the units in charge of operation to provide all tourists to the scenic spot on the eastern coast with the best convenience and leisure space in order to help them spend pleasant and satisfactory days.

Noting that in our country with diverse and rich tourist resources and the political safety and institutional stability peculiar to it, tourist industry is of great prospective significance as a motive power promoting the efflorescence and the development of the cultural field and the rejuvenation of the relevant region and contributing to the overall economic growth of the state, he indicated an important orientation for expanding and developing our style tourism on a large scale.

He said that the Wonsan Kalma coastal tourist area is the proud first step in the course of implementing the policy of the Party and the government on the development of cultural tourism and the Ninth Congress of the WPK would confirm an important plan for building promising large tourist cultural areas of various types in different regions in the shortest time possible on the basis of the successes and experience gained in the development of the Kalma peninsula.

A performance was given to mark the inauguration of the Wonsan Kalma coastal tourist area.

The night of celebration was jubilant with famous songs full of the stir of the prosperous times in which every dream and ideal have been translated into the brilliant reality along with the blooming socialist civilization, hope for future and burning patriotic enthusiasm and with gorgeous fireworks.

Kim Jong Un expressed belief that the wave of the happiness to be raised in the Wonsan Kalma coastal tourist area would enhance its attractive name as a world-level tourist cultural resort, heralding the future of paradise to be built in different parts of the country.

The landscape of civilization on the beautiful beach of the eastern coast whose looks have undergone a dramatic change thanks to the most popular view of the WPK on the development of the state will shine long as a cultural treasure which brings the people's laughter into full bloom year after year, demonstrating the inexhaustible development potential and valiant pioneering spirit peculiar to the DPRK which is confidently ushering in a promising new era of prosperity.

Frogan, Vio, Denims, and Capri are all friends of Hasanabi. I think they're all Leftist. Frogan is a muslim woman and said she hopes that American soldiers get PTSD for helping Israel (based). Vio is comedy twitch stream, but I think with Leftist sympathy. Vio also lives with / is dating Central_Committee (Mike_From_PA on twitter), which is the second largest self-proclaimed socialist news channel on twitch. Denims is a woman on twitch who talks about some Leftism stuff. Capri aka CapriSunnPapi is Palestinian/Lebanese man. Frogan and Capri both have family who live in Lebanon. I think these are actually cool people, not vaushite people.

here's a video where Frogan and Capri talk about their family in Lebanon. They talk about their families being bombed by Israel.

Roe V Wade was overturned before the midterm. This jackass had more than half of his Presidential term to do anything about Roe V Wade. He was the vice president for Obama for 8 years and Obama promised to codify Roe V Wade into law in 2008. The reality is that he doesn't support Roe V Wade or abortion access. He's just lying.

Then, reiterating his position on Roe, he said, “I’ve never been supportive of, you know, ‘It’s my body, I can do what I want with it.’ But I have been supportive of the notion that this is probably the most rational allocation of responsibility that all the major religions have signed on and debated over the last thousand years.”

Biden says that he doesn't support bodily autonomy and that he thinks that religions have authority over abortion access.

I was looking at his reddit account yesterday and the posts of the reddit account match the information of the article. Maybe the intent of the article is to smear him. I don't think that him being an anarchist or previously a radical christian devalues his action.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/02/26/israeli-embassy-airman-fire-death-gaza/
https://archive.ph/flTlp

His username on twitch was lillyanarkitty when he streamed himself self-immolating. It was found that he had previously changed the name from "acebush1" using twitch moderator tools. I tried to use the tool and it said I had to buy a subscription. I'm posting the link anyway. If you have a subscription, you can see it. https://twitch-tools.lolarchiver.com/username_changelog?name=lillyanarkitty

The username acebush1 matches his real name. Aaron BUSHnell. AceBUSH1

On instagram, the account for acebush1 has 0 photos, 28 friends, and says "Aaron Bushnell" on the profile page. https://www.instagram.com/acebush1/

On soundcloud, an account called acebush1 uploaded a single audio track 10 years ago. It says like: Hi I'm aaron bushnell welcome to my podcast. https://soundcloud.com/acebush1

Based on all of that information. I believe that this was his reddit account. https://old.reddit.com/user/acebush1/

acebush1 posted in many anarchist subreddits, posted in airforce subreddits, etc.
2-3 years ago he posted about being a radical christian, which aligns with the headline of the article.
He posted about hating Marxist-Leninists a few times.
He has many posts in the airforce subreddit telling people that airforce members should be able to use their airforce healthcare for gender affirming care, ie gender transitioning. Some people on hexbear and twitter were suggesting that he might be interested in transitioning based on the username lillyanarkitty. I don't know.
He has many posts on different fantasy series subreddits, such as LoTR. I'm mentioning this because the WAPO article also says that he loved LOTR.
He also had posts saying that he had read anarchist literature, so he probably didn't become an anarchist from reading memes.

Is the washington post article trying to smear him? maybe. probably yes.

Was Aaron Bushnel an anarchist? based on his twitch username that he streamed himself being named "lillyanarkitty" and his alleged reddit account. I would say he was an anarchist.

Does this devalue his message at all? No. He is correct about Gaza.

edit / It looks like reddit has deleted all his posts or shadowbanned him or something. You can still see the posts on the profile but if you click "permalink" on any of his comments, it says deleted.

I was shooting heroin and reading “The Fountainhead” in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief.

“Bad news, detective. We got a situation.”

“What? Is the mayor trying to ban trans fats again?”

“Worse. Somebody just stole four hundred and forty-seven million dollars’ worth of bitcoins.”

The heroin needle practically fell out of my arm. “What kind of monster would do something like that? Bitcoins are the ultimate currency: virtual, anonymous, stateless. They represent true economic freedom, not subject to arbitrary manipulation by any government. Do we have any leads?”

“Not yet. But mark my words: we’re going to figure out who did this and we’re going to take them down … provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so.”

“Easy, chief,” I said. “Any rate the market offers is, by definition, fair.”

He laughed. “That’s why you’re the best I got, Lisowski. Now you get out there and find those bitcoins.”

“Don’t worry,” I said. “I’m on it.”

I put a quarter in the siren. Ten minutes later, I was on the scene. It was a normal office building, strangled on all sides by public sidewalks. I hopped over them and went inside.

“Home Depot™ Presents the Police!®” I said, flashing my badge and my gun and a small picture of Ron Paul. “Nobody move unless you want to!” They didn’t.

“Now, which one of you punks is going to pay me to investigate this crime?” No one spoke up.

“Come on,” I said. “Don’t you all understand that the protection of private property is the foundation of all personal liberty?”

It didn’t seem like they did.

“Seriously, guys. Without a strong economic motivator, I’m just going to stand here and not solve this case. Cash is fine, but I prefer being paid in gold bullion or autographed Penn Jillette posters.”

Nothing. These people were stonewalling me. It almost seemed like they didn’t care that a fortune in computer money invented to buy drugs was missing.

I figured I could wait them out. I lit several cigarettes indoors. A pregnant lady coughed, and I told her that secondhand smoke is a myth. Just then, a man in glasses made a break for it.

“Subway™ Eat Fresh and Freeze, Scumbag!®” I yelled.

Too late. He was already out the front door. I went after him.

“Stop right there!” I yelled as I ran. He was faster than me because I always try to avoid stepping on public sidewalks. Our country needs a private-sidewalk voucher system, but, thanks to the incestuous interplay between our corrupt federal government and the public-sidewalk lobby, it will never happen.

I was losing him. “Listen, I’ll pay you to stop!” I yelled. “What would you consider an appropriate price point for stopping? I’ll offer you a thirteenth of an ounce of gold and a gently worn ‘Bob Barr ‘08’ extra-large long-sleeved men’s T-shirt!”

He turned. In his hand was a revolver that the Constitution said he had every right to own. He fired at me and missed. I pulled my own gun, put a quarter in it, and fired back. The bullet lodged in a U.S.P.S. mailbox less than a foot from his head. I shot the mailbox again, on purpose.

“All right, all right!” the man yelled, throwing down his weapon. “I give up, cop! I confess: I took the bitcoins.”

“Why’d you do it?” I asked, as I slapped a pair of Oikos™ Greek Yogurt Presents Handcuffs® on the guy.

“Because I was afraid.”

“Afraid?”

“Afraid of an economic future free from the pernicious meddling of central bankers,” he said. “I’m a central banker.”

I wanted to coldcock the guy. Years ago, a central banker killed my partner. Instead, I shook my head.

“Let this be a message to all your central-banker friends out on the street,” I said. “No matter how many bitcoins you steal, you’ll never take away the dream of an open society based on the principles of personal and economic freedom.”

He nodded, because he knew I was right. Then he swiped his credit card to pay me for arresting him.

The UAW just finished negotiating a new contract with the "Big 3" auto manufacturers: Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis (fka Fiat Chrysler). The contract includes things such as a 25% wage increase for all UAW workers, return of Cost of Living Adjustment, removal of some of the wage tier systems, higher wages for temporary and new workers, bonuses to 401k and pension plans, and the right to strike over plant closures.

The new contract is going to expire on April 30, 2028. Shawn Fain is asking for other unions to prepare for a strike at the same time so that all unions involved will have greater collective bargaining power.

In the longer video Shawn Fain says:

We demanded a longer contract because one of our biggest goals coming out of this historic contract victory is to organize like we've never organized before. When we return to the bargaining table in 2028, it won't just be with the "Big 3" but instead with the "Big 5" or "Big 6".

I believe Shawn Fain is alluding that the UAW is attempting to unionize other car manufacturer companies in the next 5 years.

UAW posted key points of the speech in this twitter thread:
