North Korea Slams Broadcast Showing Public Execution

Hello Everyone...We're back from our time off celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday and are ready and excited to share with you some news that has happened in the last few days.

I hope you spent some time praying for the persecuted during this time and also remembered the bless the Lord for your life and your religious freedom.

And now on to the news...

Remember a few days ago I mentioned this show on CNN that exposed the North Korean's for their inhumane treatment of prisoners and Christians?  Well today one of my favorite news sources, CNS News has a "response" from North Korea about that program.

North Korea Slams Broadcast Showing Public Execution

(CNSNews.com) - Angered by the broadcast of a secretly filmed public execution inside North Korea, the Stalinist state has accused the U.S.-based CNN television network of promoting Washington's "regime change" agenda.

Pyongyang also hinted at banning the network from future visits.

"We have allowed CNN in our country for news coverage several times and guaranteed the necessary conditions, but with the incident CNN has dug its own grave," North Korea's official KCNA mouthpiece charged in a weekend commentary.

CNN has "dug its own grave" - hmmm, interesting quote given how much the North Koreans like to throw people into graves.  I find it extremely telling that North Korea is so afraid of the truth that they are willing to now consider banning CNN from going into their country.  Does anyone else see the irony in this?

...The commentary lashed out at the network, calling it a "reptile" and a "trumpeter" for the U.S. administration.

It painted the documentary as part of a broader conspiracy by the U.S. against Pyongyang, adding that the Washington Post had earlier been "instigated" to publish allegations about the use of poisonous gas experiments.

The documentary is "part of a broader conspiracy by the U.S. against Pyongyang..." I'm sorry but that's so laughable!  CNN and the Washington Post involved in a conspiracy against the U.S?  Hmmm....  You may finish the rest of this article here.

It is appauling how the world has allowed North Korea to continue the way it has! If Tony Blair felt so strongly about Iraq, he should then take action against North Korea's leader and that other awful dictator Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe with the full support of the UN.
