U.S. in Sweeping Plan to Strangle North Korea's Cash Flow!!!

[AGENDA21]

The U.S. is readying fresh sanctions against North Korea over the regime’s alleged financial crimes that will be significantly more severe than the ones already in place. Raphael Perl, a congressional researcher in charge of tracking Pyongyang’s drug dealings and counterfeiting, said Friday authorities completed a rough draft of an executive order that would stop any financial firms involved in transactions with North Korea from conducting business in the U.S.

That will mean all banks, brokerage houses and insurance firms and refers not only to illegal transactions but to any financial deals with the North, Perl told the Chosun Ilbo on the phone. Once the regulations are finalized, “the message to financial institutions operating in the U.S. will be that the time has come for them to choose between the U.S. or North Korea,” he added.

1. So, are they going to crack down on Sun Myung Moon?

He has several factories in North Korea, including 'Pyonghwa Motors'.

Are Mullah Falwell and the Republicans going to keep taking piles of money from him?

4. Strangle away

North Korea, though hardly a threat to the US, is a brutal Stalinist regime so they deserve nothing from the US or the West. If the North Korean people rise up and rid themselves of their wingnut leader and toss out their current leaders then the US and the West ought to offer any and all aid. Until such time why even concern yourself with NK?
