1. Thanks!

Always fascinating when new pictures from inside North Korea surface. A few of those frames caught "real life" from the looks of it and most of the others looked highly staged.

No matter. The staged ones are just as telling IMO.

2. Hell on Earth if there ever was one.

I can't even begin to imagine what people in that modern-day concentration camp must be going through.

3. Brown and picked clean

Notice the hillsides in the few pictures with landscape in the background. Note the amount of deforestation. Hillsides have been scraped clean of anything to eat or burn.

4. I noticed a lot of people wearing the same clothing....

reminds me a lot of Fahrenheit 451....

5. LOL at their satellite.

Looks like a dorm room refrigerator or something from a 50's sci-fi movie.

Probably has vacuum tubes or a NK midget equipped with binoculars and a short wave set inside.
