Academia want Felix Abt to pay for quotes someone else used. He just
doesn’t care who the hell mentions him.

FACEBOOK SPREADS FAKE NEWS
while it suppresses real news and unwelcome voices, including the Facebook page of the book author of “A Capitalist in North Korea”. And every time when his posts are deleted and he appeals to Facebook he doesn’t get any specific reason for censoring him.

THE NEVER-ENDING KOREA WAR
The North Koreans have wanted to normalize its relations with the United States for a long time and have believed it was possible, since the U.S. also gave up its hostility towards Vietnam and has developed a normal relationship with it. But that was wishfulthinking on the part of the North Koreans. To this day the U.S. has not agreedto end the seven-decade-long Korean War and it continues to demand that North Korea first disarm unilaterally which is a non-starter for Pyongyang.

ONE OF THE BEST NORTH KOREA BOOKS
is Bruce Cumings “North Korea. Another Country”. Cumings is an American historian and his book is, unlike most other North Korean books, not partisan and not indiscriminately trashing the country. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of Korea, and on declassified government reports, fluent Korean speaker Cumings traces that story, from the brutal Korean War to the present “crisis”. Highly recommended!

COFFEE IS ILLEGAL IN PYONGYANG AND THE DELETION OF A DANGEROUS COMMENT ON IT
At the Bugsae shop in Pyongyang, not far from the first pharmacy I had set up, I used to buy canned Pokka coffee & other drinks supplied by this Singaporean business man who’s been jailed now for supplying such banned “luxury” items to North Korea. Sad!
P.S. I posted the above comment on this Channel News Asia (CNA) piece which it deleted!!! Obviously, my comment was as outrageous for them as drinking “illegal” Pokka coffee in Pyongyang…

TRUE NORTH KOREA EXPERT ON “A CAPITALIST IN NORTH KOREA”
“One of the only books from a living experience in the country has been written by Felix Abt (‘A Capitalist in North Korea. My seven years in the Hermit Kingdom’). It did not receive the response it deserved.” — Dr. A. Schild, former Chief Technical Advisor in North Korea for the UNDP financed aid coordination programme and book author.

FACEBOOK’S DOUBLE STANDARDS
Facebook makes millions off scams AND hate ads AND it regularly suppresses posts by the author of the book ‘A Capitalist in North Korea’ for “not complying with Facebook’s policies” which he doesn’t know. Upon his request, Facebook was sly enough not to give him any specifics.
