Week of June 21, 2009 - June 27, 2009

North Korean propaganda art is nearly always pretty interesting


Check out the poster in this photo: North Koreans rallied in Pyongyang on Thursday, shouting anti-American slogans and denouncing international sanctions

which accompanies this New York Times report: North Koreans Condemn U.S. and Sanctions at Huge Rally by Choe San-Hung, June 25, 2009 .

Who is the little blond guy in the American bomb being smashed by giant North Korean hands? He looks to me like he has Poppy Bush's face.

Ok, 9/11 conspiracists, I know what you're going to say:


Obama's been fully indoctrinated into the vast coverup of the conspiracy, they implanted him with the chip or whatever:

The case has put the Obama administration in the middle of a political and legal dispute, with the Justice Department siding with the Saudis in court last month in seeking to kill further legal action. Adding to the intrigue, classified American intelligence documents related to Saudi finances were leaked anonymously to lawyers for the families. The Justice Department had the lawyers' copies destroyed and now wants to prevent a judge from even looking at the material.

from Documents Back Saudi Link to Extremists by Eric Lichtblau for the June 23 New York Times.

Chops to Lichtblau for trying, but sadly I don't think saying

The documents provide no smoking gun connecting the royal family to the events of Sept. 11, 2001. And the broader links rely at times on a circumstantial, connect-the-dots approach to tie together Saudi princes, Middle Eastern charities, suspicious transactions and terrorist groups.

is going to discourage you that much. Especially since he also adds this later:

...two intriguing pieces of evidence in the Saudi puzzle might still remain off limits.

One is a 28-page, classified section of the 2003 joint Congressional inquiry into the Sept. 11 attacks. The secret section is believed to discuss intelligence on Saudi financial links to two hijackers, and the Saudis themselves urged at the time that it be made public. President George W. Bush declined to do so.

More seriously, it sure would be nice to know what the heck is going on here, especially what the leaker is up to and what he or she doesn't like about what Obama's Justice Department is doing.
