The United States is targeting three North Korean firms, including a trading company involved in a joint venture with a South Korean carmaker, under a new executive order to freeze the assets of suspected weapons of mass destruction (WMD) proliferators.

The order, signed by U.S. President George W. Bush on Wednesday, singles out the Korea Mining Development Trading Corporation, Tanchon Commercial Bank and the Korea Ryonbong General Corporation as companies believed to be assisting in the spread of WMDs.

The South Korean firm, owned by Rev. Moon Sun-myung’s Unification Church, invested about 71 billion won in the plant located in the North Korean city of Nampo, according to news reports.

Under the executive order, the U.S. Treasury Department is able to freeze assets not only of the listed companies but also those of any person or organization that has business dealings with them.

1. This could get interesting. Where is that pic of Moon getting crowned

king of the universe in the Everett Dirksen Building, by members of the US Congress?

Um, and how about the Moonie Times? That up for grabs too?
:popcorn:

4. You mean THIS one?

[havocmom]

5. No, not it. That was the only one I could find too. There were some of

members of the House & Senate actually taking place in the 'ceremony'

We need THOSE pictures. Any evilDUer have them filed anywhere? This is big and needs to get bigger.

13. I usually save interesting pics on my PC then upload them to photo bucket

Have decided too much gets scrubbed and more need to be saved to other sites. There are lots of folks doing that method.

Might even start saving some stuff to CDs as I think the Junta is gonna start getting real serious about watching the web and trying to control it like they do the media. They know we are their Achilles Heel!

Thanks, Maeve. Hope you are having fun with this. Yes, it has been QUITE an education for me too. I didn't realize it was Moon who bankrolled Falwell and his media buys in the 70s and 80s. We need to get more info out on this self proclaimed returned Christ. He is really a doozy that too many of us have just not taken seriously enough.

9. Look at What The Republicans Have Done!!!

Absolutely sickening.

2. Is this a retaliatory move? Notice the Wash. Times has been more critical

of the Propagandist lately?


Or, maybe they got wind of this WMD network claim a while ago and got pissed off?

3. North Korean Diplomat to Meet With U.S. Officials and Their Allies

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/30/international/asia/30korea.html

WASHINGTON, June 29 - A senior North Korean official, in New York to attend a private foreign policy conference, will meet Thursday with representatives of the United States, Japan and South Korea, senior Bush administration officials and foreign diplomats said Wednesday. They said they would press him to explain whether North Korea planned to return to nuclear disarmament talks.

More than a year has passed since North Korea walked away from the talks. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is planning to take a new approach with the Chinese when she travels to Beijing next month. Instead of urging them to press North Korea to return to the talks, as she has until now, Ms. Rice will instead ask the Chinese to explain what additional punitive steps against North Korea they may be willing to accept, said the diplomats and officials, who are not authorized by their governments to discuss the issue publicly.

Almost every action contemplated - sanctions, embargoes, naval blockades - requires cooperation from China to be effective. Thus far, China has expressed opposition to any new steps and has instead counseled patience.

The officials and diplomats acknowledged that China was most likely to urge Ms. Rice to offer North Korea more incentives - something the White House has said it will not do. That would leave the North Korea nuclear problem "unresolved for a long time," one senior diplomat said.

8. So is the junta and Moon breaking up? Gee, that'll be some property
