Cry Of The Howling Mars Toad

KimjongilJust to give you a taste of the shrill vocalizations of the howling Mars toad, consider the following story from the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). Note that the title of the piece was put on it by the news agency itself.

I just love the wild swings in style within a single sentence, like "Nothing but balderdash can be heard from this guy and no one, therefore, would lend an ear to his tongue wagging."

The translator obviously has a unique grasp of English. High flown terms like "balderdash" and "tongue wagging" right next to colloquialisms like "this guy." Love it!

KCNA Blasts Hwang Jang Yop’s Hysteric Remarks

    Pyongyang, December 9 (KCNA) — Hwang Jang Yop in an interview with the Japanese Sankei Shimbun malignantly slandered the political system in the DPRK [Democratic People’s Republic of Korea; i.e., North Korea], according to its Dec. 5 issue. He let loose a string of hysteric outcries that "it is the only solution to the nuclear issue to overthrow north Korea’s regime" and the "dictatorship of north Korea should be toppled".

    They are the thrice-cursed crime as they were mouthed by the man who has inveterate bitterness toward the inviolable political system in the DPRK.

    He is human scum and a mentally deranged old man who fled to south Korea after abandoning his wife and children and unhesitatingly betraying the country that protected his political integrity for the sake of his personal luxury. Nothing but balderdash can be heard from this guy and no one, therefore, would lend an ear to his tongue wagging.

    This ugly looking man is completely unable to judge what is going on. Yet the south Korean authorities are using him for their sinister purpose.

    We can not but call this dishonest behavior to question. They only betrayed their awkward position by instigating Hwang to cry out for the so-called "solution" to such crucial political issue as the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the United States.

    In a word, the U.S. and the south Korean authorities only laid bare their true colors by letting this good-for-nothing talk nonsense.

    Hwang committed too hideous crimes that he was afraid of taking a back alley. Recently he toured the U.S. and is strutting about, having interviews with foreign media. This was possible only under the protection of the present south Korean authorities and thanks to the prearranged script of the U.S.

    The present south Korean authorities transferred him to a new place from the Intelligence Service in a bid to goad him into letting loose anti-north vituperation with bitterer grudge.

    It is shame on the nation that such human scum as Hwang is still at large. To patronize and use him is an anti-national criminal act of bedevilling the inter-Korean relations and going against the nation’s desire for exchange, cooperation, unity and reunification.

    It is a common sense that a failure to see through everything from a national stand and properly deal with it would result in playing into the hands of foreign forces and the traitors to the nation and bringing the inter-Korean relations to a collapse.

    All the facts go to prove that the south Korean authorities are neither interested in the improvement of inter-Korean relations, nor have any willingness to have dialogue with the north and settle the nuclear issue but have the same wrong way of thinking as Hwang’s.

    They should behave in a responsible manner from a national stand.

    It is nonsensical to talk about dialogue, contact, reconciliation and cooperation while letting renegade and traitor Hwang defile the system and dignity of the dialogue partner and cry out for "overthrowing" the system in the north.

    We will never sit idle in case the south Korean authorities allow Hwang to slander again the system.
