Daily Mail – by TED THORNHILLSeveral large-scale public executions of around 80 people have taken place in North Korea, according to a South Korean newspaper.
In one, woman and children were herded into a sports stadium and forced to watch people being shot dead by machine gun fire.
The executions took place on Sunday November 3, a source told the paper.

JoongAng Ilbo could not confirm the deaths, but said its source is familiar with the internal affairs of North Korea and had recently visited the country.
Why the executions took place is difficult to ascertain, but the paper speculates that they may have been carried out to quell unrest and stop capitalist ideology from growing, as they took place in areas of recent economic growth.
Some of the deaths may also have been a punishment for the perceived crimes of watching South Korean movies, distributing pornography, using prostitutes and possessing Bibles.

JoongAng Ilbo reported that in Wonsan, in Kangwon Province, 10,000 people were ordered into Shinpoong Stadium, and forced to watch eight people, who were tied to stakes with sacks over their heads, being killed by machine guns.
Its source said: ‘I heard from the residents that they watched in terror as the corpses were riddled by machine-gun fire that they were hard to identify afterwards.’
Other executions took place in Chongjin in North Hamgyong Province, Sariwon in North Hwanghae Province and Pyongsong in South Pyongan.
North Koreans are forced to adhere to the Juche ideology – a doctrine which mixes Marxism with the worship of North Korea’s founder Kim Il Sung and his descendents.
But for the past seven years, a Colorado-based preacher, Pastor Foley, and his supporters have been been releasing hydrogen balloons carrying bundles of Bibles into North Korea.
Last year, they dropped an estimated 50,000 Bibles into the country.
Despite its illegality, Pastor Foley estimates that there are 100,000 Christians in North Korea.

Coming to a town near you.
Was Dennis Rodman there to watch with his homie?
Hahaha! No shit. He must be so proud of his homie. Just like them gangs in LA.
Sounds like someone is shaking the “Boga boga” stick again. Time to restart the war with the north. “JoongAng Ilbo could not confirm the deaths”. Then why say anything if you cannot confirm it, except to stir up the feces’s pot. Taking lessons from the Obummer.
Here’s a little more “dirt.”

Until legitimately confirmed, it sounds like little Kim is spreading rumors/propaganda to instill fear and control his “subjects.” However, as closed and secretive as North Korea is, who knows…could be true.
I had no idea that Obamacare was already in use in North Korea???
Sounds like a load of cods wallop to me. The North Koreans are probably told terrible stories about the USA too like 5000 people killed by police since 911.
I couldn’t find the story that was posted in the Trenches, but this is close.

Wow. I thought I was reading about DHS, SWAT and our local police. I guess this is what our “civilian defense force” will be doing to us if they see any military personnel holding a Bible on the base. After all, we Christians are such a violent, extremist group. Please Obama, protect us from them. AHHHHH!!!!!!! (sarcasm)
God help us all!
Yesterday, I saw a bunch of stories about the Colorado paster air dropping Bibles in North Korea. I thought it was interesting that this story would come out the very next day.
And just how does a Colorado pastor acquire 50,000 Bibles, have the money to fly a plane over there and even if he managed to do all that, how does one lowly pastor manage to drop those Bibles into North Korea without their air defenses or anyone else’s military air defenses blowing them out of the sky?
If North Korea is such a threat and if they are so worried about the security of their country, how come they don’t shoot down a plane carrying that many Bibles?
Think about it. If we are so close to being another North Korea, we are already shooting down planes that we don’t like via drones and air defenses, so if North Korea is worse than us, don’t you think that plane would be in pieces even before entering North Korean airspace, one way or another?
Me thinks the pastor had government help. Maybe Rodman and the Colorado pastor are also homies.
He uses homemade helium balloons, not planes. (Sorry, should have been more specific. )
All the stories I saw yesterday referred to this Fox News story

A bit extreme (if true).
Unfortunately, even the threat of death wouldn’t stop most of the hard-core t.v. junkies in this country.
Although death itself most likely would.

No “babies thrown out of incubators like those eeeeeeveeel eyerackeeeeeeees did in kuwait,america has 5% of worlds population but 25% of the worlds prisoners, many raped and abused for nothing more than CATCHING A BUZZ.
