Chongjin is said to have been turned in by by one of his crew members
at a fishing base in the port city of Chongjin, where his crew member
confessed his “offense” to authorities. It’s believed that Chongjin,
who was once a radio operator in the military, had started listening
to foreign broadcasts while on service. Chongjin was charged with
“subversion against the party.

It seems that the authorities made an example out of Choi to imprint
on the residents that listening to outside radio stations means death.

Sounds like the Leftist USA and its Social Media Censorship and
Cancellation Regime.

More on that...

Twitter and Facebook better understand user behaviour and help them
design more effective models for tackling the spread of
[dis]information.



Look how they crapflood and censor each other's ability to read in
order to fuck you over...

In the immortal words of Nancy Pelosi: "we have to pass the bill so
that you can find out what's in it."

Because, as Utah Senator Mike Lee so rambunctiously pointed out
tonight, the bill is so huge that Lee said it will take three hours
just to print out. And they’ll still have to vote on the bill tonight.
It’s unreal.

    1/4 This is the spending bill under consideration in Congress
today. I received it just moments ago, and will likely be asked to
vote on it late tonight. It’s 5,593 pages long. I know there are some
good things in it. I’m equally confident that there are bad things in
it. pic.twitter.com/SoWXnEWYfV

Lee noted that "this is by far the longest bill I've ever seen," and
added that members won’t be allowed to amend the bill in any way:

    Here’s the really sad thing:  we’re being told that there will be
no opportunity to amend or improve it.

    As a result, nearly every member of Congress - House and Senate,
Democrat or Republican - will have been excluded from the process of
developing this bill, which will cost American taxpayers trillions of
dollars.

    This process, by which members of Congress are asked to defer
blindly to legislation negotiated entirely in secret by four of their
colleagues, must come to an end.

    It won’t come to an end until no longer works for those empowered
by it.  That can happen, but only when most members of both houses and
both political parties stop voting for bills they haven’t read—and, by
design, cannot read until after it’s too late.

And so it came to pass that the House passed the bill... without a
single member possibly being capable of reading it:

    *HOUSE HAS VOTES TO PASS COVID RELIEF-FUNDING BILL; VOTE ONGOING

And in case you wondered just what is in it, we summarized the most
egregious pork here... and what needy Americans will care about here.

Earlier:

There was some confusion on Monday afternoon when the release of the
full text of the stimulus bill was prevented due to a computer glitch,
because the file was - no joke - corrupt.

    It’s worse than printer delays.

    They cannot get the Covid relief/govt funding bill uploaded to the
internet. the computers keep bugging out, several sources told me.
have heard about a corrupt file in education piece of the bill.

    all sections need to be combined into 1 file

But that was promptly resolved (we can only hope the hacked password
wasn't Pork123), and moments ago Congress released the full text of
the bill... all 5593 pages of it.

Needless to say, the bill is chock-full of garbage:

    This bill is beyond.

    Example: It literally legislates the process for the reincarnation
of the Dalai Lama.

Good luck to anyone tasked with reading this porkulus monster from
cover to cover.
