I do hope that they are not using GMO crops! They are good people, who have living through hard times. Governments and corrupt Politicians, and miss used media, has put their population through times you would not wish on anyone.

If the NWO and their cronies would get stopped from their plot. The world could become a much better place.

they are quite free though. there are so many north korean people living in China and russia. Not refugees. they are legally in overseas. north korea has freedom of speech, but not always. you are not allowed to critisize on the Socialism or Communism. Or their party (comrade kim jong il ...) but u can always say bad things on economic systems and ask party for improvement.s. and many people misunderstanding about nk is that most n koreans are not suffering anymore from famine.

their situation really improved though... imagine early 90s.. when Soviet union collapsed.. So many people in city was dead due to shortage of food.. because the food was not distributed farely... Country people were at least better... they had land for crops and to eat. but city people had to die. So many people in Pyongyang was dead... i know this because i am korean japanse, who studied in Korean school in japan which is teaching student n korean education. we must help them more...
