Chinese national sold weapons to North Korea: Feds
 
An undocumented Chinese national living in the U.S. has been charged with procuring and shipping guns, ammunition and electronics to North Korea, according to federal prosecutors.

Prosecutors say Shenghua Wen was allegedly moving items to North Korea by concealing them in shipping containers from Long Beach, California, through Hong Kong and then to North Korea.
 
He was arrested on Tuesday morning at his home in Ontario, California, and ordered to be held without bond. His arraignment has been scheduled for Jan. 7, 2025.

In a briefing Tuesday, prosecutors allege Wen was helping North Korea obtain goods for a surprise attack on South Korea.

Federal agents in August seized two devices from Wen's home that he had allegedly planned to send to North Korea for its military use -- a chemical threat identification device and a handheld broadband receiver, according to a criminal complaint.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Unless the goal is to reverse engineer them.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
