“With Kim Jong-un, it’s not just an issue of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula,” Boteach contended. “You’re talking about a man, with his father, who starved to death hundreds of thousands of people, allocating their resources specifically to the military, because the only thing the guy has got is an army. He’s got no economy. He’s got barely any electricity. But he’s got an army. He feeds them first, and he starves children. “If this deal is done, what happens with all his past crimes?” he asked.
“One of the great moments in American history was the Nuremberg trials. Roosevelt insisted they take place, and then they were carried on through Truman after Roosevelt’s death,” he elaborated. “Some of the greatest speeches in American history, like Robert Jackson’s opening speech at Nuremberg, define American democracy. We didn’t just take vengeance. We didn’t just line up the SS and shoot them. We tried them.”
“What happens to all these crimes? If we do a deal, does he just get off the hook?” Boteach asked about Kim Jong-un.
“I’m not saying that we shouldn’t be engaging him,” he clarified. “I think it is important to engage him because he’s a menace to the world, and we have to get rid of his nuclear weapons. I’m skeptical whether he will relinquish his nuclear weapons because the only reason that he hasn’t been invaded and attacked, given his constant saber-rattling and his threats to world peace, is because we’re afraid he’ll drop a nuke on Seoul. So I’m not sure that he’s going to give them up. He should be engaged. I’m just wondering, what is the process if he does agree to a peace deal?” he said.
“I think that one of the main things we’re missing in the world today, and one of the things that the Jewish community and the Jewish religion specifically contributes to the world, is a hatred of evil,” Boteach said.

3-9-18 in the early 1990s, the North Korean economy went into a dramatic downward spiral, culminating in a horrendous famine that killed between 600,000 and 1 million people.
Yet through all of this, Kim Il Sung cultivated a powerful cult of personality. North Koreans were inundated with propaganda branding Kim as the country’s benevolent father figure who was transforming the country into a glorious socialist utopia through his unique brand of ideology, known as “juche.” Translated as “self-reliance,” juche stresses total independence in all facets of national life, from foreign policy to economics to national defense.
When Kim died at the age of 82, the Korean Central News Agency, the country’s official news organization, published a glowing seven-page announcement that said "he turned our country, where age-old backwardness and poverty had prevailed, into a powerful Socialist country, independent, self-supporting and self-reliant.” He was, as the news agency concluded, the “sun of the nation.”
Since Kim’s death in 1994, his son and grandson, Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un, respectively, have carried on his legacy, aiming to run the country exactly like he did. They purposefully demonstrate in their own propaganda how closely they hew to Kim Il Sung’s style of governance. Kim Jong Un even goes out of his way to look as much like his grandfather as he possibly can.
Despite some modest reforms to the economy under the two younger Kims, the country is still far, far behind the rest of the world. The CIA ranks North Korea as the 215th-poorest country out of the 230 it tracks, and its people live on about $1,700 a year.
North Korea is almost solely reliant on China as a trading partner, with most of its money coming from the millions of tons of coal it exports to China every year. It also sends iron ore, seafood, and clothing to the Chinese....
Nothing exemplifies these violations like the gulags, or forced labor camps, run by the state. Usually, detentions there end in death — and not just for the imprisoned person. North Korea abides by the “three generations of punishment” rule. Basically, if the government thinks you committed a crime, you, your children, and your grandchildren have to suffer the consequences too. A 2017 report by the International Bar Association War Crimes Committee noted that some of the prisons are “as terrible [as] Nazi camps.”
Some North Koreans still find ways to live dignified and relatable lives despite the horrid conditions. In fact, in many ways, life in North Korea can be normal. Subway trains fill with people during rush hour in the capital city, Pyongyang. The city also now suffers from traffic jams, as more people have cars and want to get around on their own. Fashionable Western clothes are available in North Korean stores, and some North Koreans are even getting plastic surgery, despite the procedure’s illegality.
North Koreans also enjoy surfing the country’s intranet, but their choices are very limited with fewer than 30 sites on offer....
NK having a credible nuclear weapons program is one way to ensure that it (the regime) does survive.
North Korea has accelerated its nuclear program to the point where it can now produce a new bomb every “six or seven weeks.” And it now has an intercontinental ballistic missile that is theoretically capable of hitting every part of the United States. It’s still unclear, though, if North Korea can reliably place a nuclear weapon atop the missile and have it survive reentry into the atmosphere and detonate at its target...
In 1994, the US and North Korea signed the Agreed Framework, in which the North agreed to freeze its plutonium weapons program in exchange for aid. However, the agreement collapsed in 2002, and by January 2003 the North had resumed its nuclear program.
Then in August 2003, the international community launched the so-called “Six Party Talks,” which were designed to get North Korea to halt its nuclear program through negotiations with five other countries: China, the United States, South Korea, Japan, and Russia.
In September 2005, it looked like the talks might work — North Korea formally agreed to abandon “all nuclear weapons and existing nuclear programs” in exchange for energy assistance from the other countries. But in 2009, amid disagreements over technical details related to verification, North Korea walked out on the talks. It says it will never return to the talks and maintains that it is no longer bound by their agreements. And it has been ramping up its nuclear and ballistic missile programs ever since....
The Kim family’s message is “stepping with vigorous energy throughout this land.” In other words, the Stalinist ideology championed by the Kims in the 1950s is now the operating system of the whole country and may spread further and further.
North Korea, it’s fair to say, is a world-class innovator when it comes to propaganda. This country continues to roll out new messages and slogans, including 300 to mark the 70th anniversary of its founding in 2015. Here’s a shortened list the BBC provided:
- "Let us turn the whole country into a socialist fairyland by the joint operation of the army and people!"
- "Serve the country and people! Aid the people! Let the wives of officers become dependable assistants to their husbands!"
- "Let this socialist country resound with Song of Big Fish Haul and be permeated with the fragrant smell of fish and other seafoods!"
- "Scientists and technicians, stand in the vanguard of the struggle to build a thriving country that is developing, civilizing and advancing at a fast pace! Build 'gold mountains' and 'treasure mountains' with brilliant scientific and technological achievements!"
- "More stylish school uniforms and quality school things for our dear children!"
- "Let us raise the status of our country to that of a sports power at an earliest date possible! Play sports games in an offensive way, the way the anti-Japanese guerrillas did!"...
- Around 70 percent of North Korea’s ground forces are within 90 miles of the DMZ, presumably ready to move south at a moment’s notice.
- Simulations of a large-scale artillery fight between the North and South produce pretty bleak results. One war game convened by the Atlantic back in 2005 predicted that a North Korean attack would kill 100,000 people in Seoul in the first few days alone. Others put the estimate even higher. A war game mentioned by the National Interest predicted Seoul could “be hit by over half-a-million shells in under an hour.” https://www.vox.com/world/2017/5/2/15518284/9-questions-north-korea-explained-kim-jong-un......................................................................................................................................If I happen to be involved in this confrontation (with darkness/evil personally in a physical situation) it is, of course, very trying for me, as we can well imagine it must be for the Master. I do as I am told and I strive in my soul to be obedient and to be impersonal so that I am truly a Messenger (rather than a teacher or a judge or a tester), conveying only that which is the will of the Master as he is dealing with the chela.Then there is, of course, on down the road of self-mastery the initiation that comes nigh the point of the crucifixion when the individual has considerable Christ-attainment as well as balanced karma and is required to slay that dweller totally and utterly.Jesus could not have been on the cross had he not slain the dweller. As a matter of fact his illustration of slaying the dweller was his wilderness confrontation with Satan three years before the crucifixion. (Matt. 4:1-11) And that was the planetary dweller on the threshold: Satan himself--the personification and sign of everyone’s personal dweller.Later the son of God dealt with the planetary dweller again in his confrontation with the Watchers and the Nephilim--the chief priests and Pharisees, the elders of the people and the powers of Rome. This was possible only because he had already slain the personal dweller. This is why he said “The prince of this world cometh and hath [findeth] nothing in me.” (John 14:30)So the planetary momentum of the dweller on the threshold, i.e., the collective undefined unconscious of all evolutions of the planet, can and does move against the individual who has not yet slain his personal carnal mind. What this means is the obvious—that most people come under the influence of the mass consciousness daily. And the more they have conquered the wiles of their own not-self, the less influenced they will be by the ups and downs of world turmoil.Nevertheless, the planetary momentum will tie into and activate the personal anti-Christ to catch off-guard even the souls nearest their victory over the beast; at that moment the individual must slay not only the personal carnal mind, but in so slaying it, drive back the planetary momentum and overcome the original Liar as well as the lie which the originator of evil has propagated in his seed.Now, you may day by day resist the temptations of your carnal mind and of the planetary dweller, but you may not have completely slain the personal representative of the Evil One. Thus there is a point of winning on each occasion of the overcoming, and then there is the point of winning ultimately because the entire beast has been slain.Well, there comes a time when individuals on the path have had the fullness of the Teaching, the Light, the Masters, and the love of the community. And that fullness is not gauged by years but by the evolution of the lifestream. It may be one years it may be three years, it may be twenty years, it may be many embodiments.But there comes a point when the individual has full awareness of the Christ in the Masters, in the Messenger, full awareness of what the darkness is and what the carnal mind is. And he must come to the place of deciding for or against his Mighty I AM Presence, the Brotherhood, for or against the false hierarchy. This is known as the wye (Y) The wye in the path is the point of the initiation where one actually becomes Christ or Antichrist.One may refuse to surrender that dweller--to bind it, slay it, and send it to judgment aforehand--i.e., before the soul must give its accounting to the Karmic Board at the conclusion of this life. Jesus taught this Law of Karma to Paul, who wrote of it to Timothy Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. (I Tim. 5:24)Instead of surrendering it at the wye, the initiate may, instead, embrace the dweller. Instead of eating the flesh and drinking the blood of the Son of God (assimilating the Light of Alpha and Omega in the Body of Christ), he literally drinks the cup of the blasphemy of the fallen angels and eats at their board the infamy of their anti-Word.By taking the wrong way, the initiate actually puts on, personifies, identifies with, and is now become the dweller on the threshold incarnate. The soul and the cancer of the carnal mind have grown together and are no longer separable. Such an individual would then be on the left-handed path. His will, not God’s, is supreme. An adept on the left-handed path is called a black magician.Now, these events may happen very quickly, even overnight. The opportunity for service to the Master during which an individual walks the path of discipleship in grace as a follower of Christ, still enjoying the protection and the sponsorship of the Brotherhood, continues right up until the hour of decision.One day one sees the chela as a part of the community and in the grace of the Masters, enjoying Maitreya’s mystery school and the opportunity to balance through service, right deeds and decisions the karma borne during his apprenticeship by the Guru. But the next, the Day of Decision is upon him. The individual may be confronted at any level of his being, not necessarily by the Messenger, although it may be through the Messenger. And he may at that moment decide that he will not give in to his Lord and Master. He will not bend the knee, he will not confess the supremacy in his life of his holy Christ Self. Instead, he considers himself--his untransmuted willful self--to be that Christ.Confusing the lower self for the Greater Self through his own self-created spiritual blindness, he enthrones the dweller on the threshold in the place of his holy Christ Self. His personality, his psyche, his stream of consciousness all flow into the not-Self. Instead of saying “I and my Father are One” (John 10:30), he declares “I and my ego are one,” and it is so. Behold mechanization man! Behold Rudyard Kipling’s “man who would be king” who meets his fate in the abyss of the astral plane. Though he thinks he is in control, the nonentity eventuates in nonexistence.Now this is happening on planet Earth every day to people who have chosen to embody the anti-Buddha force. These are advanced initiations, but then, planet Earth is host to very old souls whose hour has come. As Jesus said to the chief priests, the elders and captains of the temple who could have chosen Christ but, in murdering him, solidified their position with Satan and made their whole house his: “This is your hour”--to choose to be or not to be in the Christ consciousness--”and the power of darkness,” i.e., the power of the darkness of your own dweller on the threshold and your karma. “Now I, the One Sent, charge you to bind and cast out that carnal mind which is enmity with God, if you would dwell forevermore with the Father and the Son.” (Rev. 2:9; 3:9; Luke 22:53)Jesus’ incarnation of the Word forced the confrontation, the choice and the judgment of these ancient ones who knew full well at all levels of their consciousness who he was and who they were. And in their hour they made their choice. It was a fair test, fair and square, and they failed it.Likewise your Holy Christ Self will force the confrontation, the choice and the judgment not only of the dark ones but of your own soul as well. Let us therefore judge righteous judgment. ...These people therefore have become their dweller on the threshold. They no longer even pretend to follow the true teachings of Christ taught by the Brotherhood. They deny that the teachings are true, they deny that the Masters are real, and they deny the path of Initiation under Maitreya through the embodied Guru.And what’s more, they embrace a false doctrine of Christ’s accountability for their sin--for all past sins of all previous lives, mind you--saying, “Jesus died for my sins, I am free from all my karma. I am exonerated, there is nothing I can or should do to balance my debts to Life. My belief is my passport to the kingdom.” It is of no concern to them that they are in the very act of karma-making. In fact, they have so personified the dweller, and they are so pleased to be free to indulge that dweller with all its appetites and vehemence against the Law of Life, that they are either unconcerned or else unaware that they are on a collision course with destiny....In the meantime, the ‘ex-disciple’ of Christ who is now the servant of the natural man (I Cor. 2:14-16)--its wants and pleasures and superior knowledge--fashions a strong outer personality made in the likeness of the carnal mind--a ‘good human being’, achieving and acceptable in the circles of all who likewise have abandoned the Road of Eternal Accountability that leads inevitably to the confrontation with Christ and the surrender of all sin against the Holy Ghost....Nevertheless, these dedicated souls are in fact being confronted and moved against by those self-serving ones who have embodied the dweller on the threshold yet cleverly disguise themselves as benign, concerned citizens working for the freedom of all. Jesus tagged them so we would not be fooled by their too kind words: “wolves in sheep’s clothing,” devils posing as deliverers. And there is more truth to those words than many are prepared to deal with.You see, the one who embodies that dweller—being self-willed, and inordinately imposing his will on others (this is the base definition of black magic), having passed the point of the Y--is actually incarnating that momentum of evil which is the equivalent of the light he had when he departed from the temple and fell from grace. In other words, he has inverted his original dispensation of light to generate evil. Moreover, he has deified that evil and himself as its progenitor.Now, evil, in itself, is misqualified energy, the malintent behind it, and the entity encompassing both. By the very nature of the Liar and his lie--the consciousness behind it--evil at its inception is deceptive and deceitful. ...May the Lord enlighten you as to who and what we are dealing with and why you need to give these calls every day!Now, since the one who embodies the dweller, thereby deifying evil, may have been a Watcher or a fallen angel (Lucifer was an archangel who fell through pride, as we know), the attainment at the point of the Fall may have been very great--for these fallen ones once had a great light, dwelling as they did in the courts of heaven with our Father and Mother. So the greater the light at the point of the Fall, the greater the Fall, and the longer the extension of time and space in which to repent. For God in His truly great mercy gives to that one an opportunity commensurate with his office in hierarchy at the time of the Fall to repent and to return to Him. ...Indeed, the fallen angels who swore their eternal enmity against God in heaven--in the full presence of his Glory!--move freely on earth, embodying the dweller with bravado, sophistication, wealth, and worldly wisdom until they should be confronted by someone in embodiment—someone who has the courage to be the spokesman for the Elect One. For, by definition, by the very science of being that Elect One who cometh in the name of the Lord I AM THAT I AM,has the attainment of Light physically manifest equal to the dark ones; the One Sent did not fall from grace but took incarnation for the express purpose of challenging the seed of the wicked on behalf of the shorn lambs of God.This is why John the Baptist and Jesus Christ as well as the prophets and the avatars of all ages have come to the earth: “For judgment I am come into this world.” (John 9:39) They come because they want to give a reprieve to the blessed children of God who are tormented by these fallen ones and yet have not the ability--the externalized Christ consciousness--to move against them....Now in this hour of the Aquarian age and the dispensation of Saint Germain, we find that by the science of the spoken Word, when we give our dynamic decrees in the name of the Christ, in the name of the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood or any of the Ascended Masters, we are decreeing in the full magnitude of their attainment sealed in their Causal Body of Light.When you decree in the name of Saint Germain, instantaneously you have behind your call the full power of the light qualified by the Ascended Master Saint Germain for thousands of years. His purple fiery heart multiplies the power of your heart, and it is as though Saint Germain and you were one. In fact, you are one. Therefore when you confront the Adversary within or without you know that Saint Germain has the equivalent or greater of the power, let’s say, of the archangel (or any other fallen one) when he fell.]...At whatever point the reprobate decided to embody the dweller, at that point on the path he inverted the light he had acquired up to that moment. If he succeeded in stealing the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and was not then and is not now challenged by a son of God, he will go on misappropriating the light, turning it to greater darkness—”If the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!” (Matt. 6:23) Thus he practices karma-dodging by devices of deceit, fooling the children of the light, inciting them to accuse one another, to argue with each other, to be discordant, to engage in wars and genocide in defense of Nephilim divide-and-conquer political schemes, and generally to get into a heap of troubles....Making karma by their foolishness, putting their attention upon the fallen ones through idolatry, the children of light unwittingly give them their energy. (It is the Law of Karma: that which we place our attention on, or give our devotion to, we become; i.e., energy flows to the object of our attention and devotion.)The fallen ones make a spectacle of themselves, preferring politics, the media, and entertainment as center stage. Focusing our attention on their outrageous, hilarious or spectacular antics they rake in our money and our light. And therefore a fallen one walking the earth today as the incarnate dweller on the threshold, though spiritually bankrupt, may actually be gathering more power and more light unto himself, which he turns into darkness to control and destroy the very ones from whom he has taken it by the schemes he has perpetrated.Many of these schemes center on money because money is power....Thus the dynasties of the powered and moneyed interests carry on “the tradition,” reincarnating until the law of cycles decrees their judgment by the sons of God, ascended and unascended. And so the cycles of manipulation continue until the one aligned with the Great White Brotherhood raises his right hand, lifts up his voice unto the Lord God, the Almighty One, and says: “In the name of Jesus Christ, Thus far and no farther! Enough!” and then gives 20.09 for the binding and the casting out of the dweller on the threshold of the manipulators of the people. Jesus deliberated before giving us this dictation and this decree....It is a very important call because when we say, “I cast out the dweller on the threshold” we’re talking about the personal and planetary dweller, we’re talking about everyone on earth in or out of embodiment who has raised a clenched fist to dare the Almighty to strike him dead, everyone who has hated the Light, declared war against The Faithful and True, and spilled the blood of his sons and daughters in the rites and revenge of Hell....It is our earnest prayer that those whose ungodly deeds are challenged by our call--even those allied with nefarious practices--might be liberated from the strong delusions of the dweller and make an about-face to serve the living God. In giving this call, we are the champions of the soul and the defenders of the right of the individual to be free from the sinister strategies of the carnal mind--free to be his Real Self. This is a rescue mission on behalf of all caught in the grips of the illusions of the astral plane and its denizens....The problem with Christianity today is that the children of the light are not being given the tools to obey Christ’s injunction: Be not overcome of the Evil One but overcome the power of Evil with the power of Good. (Rom. 12:21) While the world hangs in the balance of the arms race and war on every hand, the sword of the Saviour--the science of the spoken Word--is waiting to be wielded by all sons of God on earth for the binding of planetary evil and those who are its perpetrators....In giving these invocations,you must be prepared, beloved, for whatever you send forth to also activate the Light in your own world. The judgment of the Son of God is the greatest blessing that anyone who loves the Lord could ever receive. It is like a pre-exam or a midterm before the final that lets us know where we stand vis-á-vis God’s Laws. When we know where we stand, and what we know and what we don’t know, what is pleasing and what is not pleasing to God, we can then study, correct and perfect our understanding and our actions, so that when the final examination comes we will pass. ...Now, in this very moment of Jesus’ dispensation from our beloved Father, to have his Electronic Presence over everyone in whom there burns a certain measure of the threefold flame we realize that when we give these prayers in Jesus’ name we are automatically saying them in the name of the Christ Self of everyone with whom Jesus is one through this new dispensation. ...This is the hour of the fulfillment of the prophecy of Daniel: And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time. And at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book (of Life). ...This is the hour of the awakening of the sleeping serpent of the dweller on the threshold, this is the hour of judgment for those who choose not to be God but to be the embodiment of evil; this is the hour of the judgment of many who have chosen the left-handed path, many who have become one with Antichrist, many who have inverted the Light to create the monster....We are charged to make the call, and the armies of heaven under the archangels are charged to implement the answer, subject to the Will of God and the adjudication of the Son, in Jesus and in us. Praise God that only the Will of Christ can manifest and that neither our human opinion nor anyone else’s can alter the divine Edict that was spoken by the Father in the beginning and is ratified by the Son in the ending.
