I don’t think it’s correct to blame video games for the world being shit. The popularity of videos games is due to the world being shit, not the other way around. Video games exist as a form of escapism. If the world were less shit, people would play less video games.
KCNA is a news agency within DPRK. They labeled this article as the top news story for the day. I think it’s interesting that they chose to respond to the US allegations at all. I also like their colorful language and how they criticize the US. I posted the article so people could appreciate the way that DPRK mocks the US.
There is a mythology that follows computers hackers. People have a tendency to view computer hackers as having real life super powers. People dream that a hacker can save them by erasing their debts or toppling a bad government.
I think Hexbears want to believe that DPRK Hackers are doing vigilante justice because it sounds cool. It’s a fun idea. I don’t think that users are saying it in a way that is disrespectful.
I think there’s probably a mix of truth. It is very likely that the US has slandered DPRK for crimes that they did not commit. There’s been dozens of news stories about alleged North Korean Hackers, some of them could be fabricated.
In this particular story, I think it could be real because the US also charged 6 Chinese nationals. When China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs was asked about the charges, the spokesperson said that China opposes the sanctions and will defend the rights of Chinese nationals. My interpretation is that China is not denying that the Chinese nationals worked with DPRK nationals and instead saying they don’t respect US sanctions, which is cool.
AFP: The U.S. Justice Department said yesterday that it has taken down a network that allegedly helped North Koreans obtain remote IT work with companies to raise funds for the country’s weapons program. Six Chinese nationals and two Taiwan citizens have been indicted for their involvement. Does the Foreign Ministry have a comment on this?
Mao Ning: China opposes unilateral sanctions that have no basis in international law or authorization of the UN Security Council. We will do what is necessary to defend the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of Chinese nationals.

I did not copy/paste the full article. If you click on the link, it says the US is accusing them of stealing $900k of bitcoin and software source code.
The North Koreans also allegedly stole at least $900,000 worth of cryptocurrency from one Georgia-based company with their access, along with employer data and source code, including International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) data, from a California-based defense contractor, the DOJ said.
Fox News reacts to the DPRK press statement. https://archive.is/TOR7k
I believe the context of this DPRK press statement is in response to the article below.
The U.S. Department of Justice and FBI on Monday announced an arrest and indictments targeting North Korea’s so-called “IT worker” program, where North Koreans obtain remote IT-related positions at more than 100 U.S. companies, and use that access to steal money and information from a host of companies around the world.
The North Korean workers used compromised identities of more than 80 U.S. citizens to obtain remote jobs at more than 100 U.S. companies and caused more than $3 million in legal fees, remediation and other costs, according to the DOJ.
The two men, along with four other unnamed U.S. “facilitators,” assisted the North Koreans by procuring and operating laptops used by the overseas workers, created financial accounts to receive money earned by the workers to be sent back to North Korea, and created shell companies to make the workers appear more authentic, according to the DOJ, earning nearly $700,000 from the scheme for themselves.
Federal prosecutors also indicted six Chinese nationals and two Taiwanese nationals for alleged roles in the operation. China would take all necessary measures to safeguard the rights and interests of its citizens, the country’s foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told reporters at a regular news briefing on Tuesday.
Fingerbox is a vintage meme.
This was broadcast on Iran’s national television. I watched some of the footage but couldn’t understand what was being said.
Destiny is currently being investigated for filming people without consent during sex and sharing the videos with other people.
This article is about massacres at “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” sites (GHF). It’s basically a fake aid organization set up by the US and Israel for the purpose of killing people in Gaza. Israel blocked all aid entering into Gaza on March 2. All food and medicines shipments to Gaza were blocked for over 80 days. GHF opened on May 27 and Israeli militants have been opening fire on starving Palestinians at the GHF sites almost every day since.
This tweet thread lists the number of Palestinians killed or injured each day at GHF sites from May 27 to June 24.

The Haaretz article mentions that some of the people who work for GHF are Palestinian. What Haaretz doesn’t explicitly say is that the Palestinians who are hired by GHF are part of the ISIS-linked Al Shabab gang. Israel pays the ISIS-linked Al Shabab gang to limit the aid going to Gaza. Hamas has a group called the “Arrow Unit” which fights against the Al Shabab gang and other aid looters.
I think what is telling about the Haaretz article is that they try to paint the whole situation as being caused by an accident, as if the the systematic massacre of Palestinians is not the intended function of the IOF.
The article continuously states that the IOF militants are confused about why they firing at civilians. The whole article is written as if there was an event of mass amnesia. There’s a quote in the middle of the article which says that war crimes may be ideologically motivated but then the article never investigates further. “My greatest fear is that the shooting and harm to civilians in Gaza aren’t the result of operational necessity or poor judgment, but rather the product of an ideology held by field commanders, which they pass down to the troops as an operational plan.” Only a brief moment of self awareness.
It’s good that an Israeli newspaper admits that the Israel is doing a war crimes, however the tone of the article is still sympathetic towards the Israeli militants.
This content is paywalled and I’m not linking the archive link to the site; Haaretz is one of the few news organizations (if not the only one) willing to talk about what’s being done in a critical manner. Any support you can provide, you should.
What are you saying? Haaretz is an Israeli newspaper and openly Zionist, although more liberal than other Israeli newspapers. If the GHF aid traps are being reported as bad by Haaretz, then you should imagine that they are so much worse than that. Sometimes Haaretz will report something that is honest, like when they reported that the Hannibal Directive was used on October 7.
I think today is the first day that Haaretz has reported the GHF aid traps are massacring Palestinians. Other news sources have been reporting it daily for over a month. I’ve posted multiple articles about it. I’ve seen it reported by Al Jazeera, Drop Site News, Zeteo News.

Over 2 weeks ago, Zeteo published this anonymous testimony of a US mercenary, who was payed to work at a GHF aid trap. The testimony is someone who is probably a chud, foolishly they thought they were going to help people, but decided to leak the testimony when they saw how the aid sites were death traps. Zeteo is founded by former MSNBC anchor Mehdi Hasan.
This idea that the Israeli military isn’t involved is bullshit. They’re very much involved. They have offices in our compounds. We share our radio communications with them. The higher-ups claim the Israeli military is not involved, but it feels like they’re the man behind the curtain. Sure, they’re not on-site with us, but their snipers and tanks are just hundreds of meters away. You can hear them shooting all day.
One episode sticks with me. We were monitoring an empty site all day; sometime after dark, dozens of flatbed trucks finally brought aid. The Israeli military soon radioed in that 200 to 300 civilians a couple of kilometers (less than two miles) north were approaching. We then observed an Israeli drone go out there.
The generous interpretation? Maybe the Israelis were firing between our position and the people in order to keep them from moving forward. I don’t think that’s the case. After all, tanks fire all day long near these aid sites. Snipers fire from what used to be a hospital. Bombs and bullets fly all day long in one direction – toward Palestinians.
We know the Israeli military has been enforcing curfews in some parts of Gaza. I would not be surprised if the aid was delivered at night deliberately, given it would then draw people out, at which point they could be fired on as combatants, even though they weren’t. It’s very clear that the Israeli military will take any opportunity available to fire.
People sometimes have to travel miles to get to the sites – and that means through Israeli-controlled areas. Any excuse the military can come up with to say someone is a threat, they’ll take. There’s not really any international media in these areas, and the West doesn’t really want to believe the Palestinian media, so you get to this point where the truth itself is murky. All the while, all I’ve heard all day is Israeli tanks, machine guns, snipers, and bombs.
But never any fire from the opposite direction.
He’s going to be the mayor and in his free time he plays a city management game. This is like the pilots who go home and play flight simulator.
It says that the capacity is 20,000 people. That’s like a whole town in rural US. This is the power of central planning.
I always love DPRK water park photos.

The next time that we see the media reporting that Trump is distancing himself from Israel or pissed at Netanyahu, remember that Trump is so Zionist that he refers to Chuck Schumer as “Our Great Palestinian Senator”. Trump has used this name for months. Chuck Schumer called Trump a chicken on June 2 for not attacking Iran yet. Chuck Schumer told NYT in March, “My job is to keep the left pro-Israel.” Chuck Schumer gives speeches at AIPAC.
Trump considers himself to be even more Zionist than Chuck Schumer, so much so that he uses “Palestinian” as a slur. Any supposed “distancing from Israel” or “contempt for Netanyahu” is purely theater.
This is a video capture of KCTV, a DPRK TV channel. The KCTV logo is on the top left corner of the video. There is an archive of KCTV broadcasts on KCNAWATCH. The archive is public for the past year. You’d have to skim through the fully vods to see if there is more footage.
KCNAWATCH is owned by NKNews, which is funded by NED (National Endowment for Democracy), which is US government funding. So you will see some pro-US propaganda if you leave the archive area but the video archive seems not tampered. It also has a live stream of KCTV. DPRK has issued press statements in the past, saying that NKNews is doing copyright infringement by rehosting media from DPRK.
