This is truly amazing:
NK News is a searchable database of North Korean propaganda. This site contains nearly every article published on the KCNA’s website, in English and Spanish, since Dec 2, 1996–over 50 MB of hard-core Stalinist propaganda! And each article written in that unique and indelible style that only the KCNA can do.
Kudos to the individuals running the site, although unfortunately, the links to the actual articles do not work in South Korea, where the cyber-nannies at the Ministry of Information and Communication have placed a block on pro-North Korean websites (no porn, no parodies, no propaganda).
The site also has a KCNA Hall of Fame, an exceedingly cool Random Insult Generator and a Gregorian-Juche Era conversion tool.

What’s your point oranckay?
That site is no more than a dog’s barking at a moon if it does not create a hot wind of admiration, fascination, reverence, praise and worship for the greatness of leader Kim Jong-il

Newsweek: N. Korea’s Information Blockade Crumbles
According to the report, another must-read, natural curiosity and market forces are doing what a decade of the Sunshine Policy and government-controlled trade couldn’t do–open up North Korean society. . . . North Korea, long one of the world’s most…
I may be wrong on this, but maybe Orankay was giving out the host’s address, so that they can contact him in other ways and reach his sites through mirrors.
Or Orankay work’s for the Ministry of Truth.
What Wedge and Michael said! Bathe in the Pool Pa Da, lackey!
Oh the beloved MIC, the Missing Information Committee… I just love how in Korea it’s perfectly acceptable to publish and televise all of the boastful messages from the English Spectrum site as if they where factual news (let alone newsworthy), but access to North Korea’s brand of yellow journalism is strictly verboten.
But, in a middle finger to the MIC, I will show you how to access banned sites:
1) Many web-based utilities exist that work as proxies, allowing you to surf freely. However, some sites provide links though a technology called JavaScript, and that seems to wreck havoc with their URL translation systems. Check http://www.anonster.com for use with other MIC-ninny barred websites. This won’t work for the NK News site.
So, we’ll do it OLD SKOOL STYLE!
If you’re using Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP, follow these slightly crypic (sorry!) directions:
Go to “Tools” - “Internet Options” - “Connections” - “LAN Settings”
Click the box “Use a proxy server…”
The enter address: 210.255.58.62
Port: 80
Click “OK” then click “OK” again.
Now go to the NK-News site, and EVERYTHING WORKS! See, what we’ve done here is route all of our webpage requests through a proxy in Japan. As far as the MIC is concerned, we’re just visiting a website in Japan. SUCK IT, MIC!
When done visited your barred sites of choice, I recommend that you disable the proxy to ensure the fastest web browsing speeds. Just go back and unclick the “Use a proxy server…” box. The info will be saved, and next time you need it, just go back and click the box again!
All this said, proxy servers can die as quickly as mogi in winter. But you’ll find a boundless list of more here: http://www.proxy4free.com/page1.html
Ok, enjoy the banned sites!
thank you, max, for telling us how to violate the national security law. i’m sure marmot will thank you with a big fat kiss.
Firetruck the NSL. Especially when it’s designed to protect us from realizing how ridiculous and obsolete North Korea is.
Max Watson rules.
Let us rejoice and sing Max Watson’s praises to the treetops.
Max Watson for King!
talking about the nsl is one thing, breaking it is another.
i’m not sure where talking about breaking it falls.
This ROK censorship problem vexes me. I originally planned to show each KCNA article in full right on the site, but was worried about copyright issues (with the KCNA, of all institutions!). Now I’m starting to think, screw it, I’ll just show ‘em on the site and take my chances.
The only thing is now I’m worried that NK News itself will get blocked. Or is that pretty much a matter of time as it is? When the NSL blocking occurred, did they do it one time with a select number of sites, or do they constantly rove around looking for new sites to block, like the Chinese authorities do? If it was just a one-shot deal, I’ll consider showing the full articles on-site. Otherwise, I guess it doesn’t matter either way.
It’d be great to get some feedback on this from those of you in the ROK, or who are familiar with their blocking system.
