North Korea says huh, what, wait, it wasn’t us and seeks a joint probe with US on Sony hack (yeah – like that is going to happen.) He’s decided that the North Korea hack on Sony Pictures was not an act of war but is now trying to decide if it’s terrorism so he can put North Korea on the terrorism sponsors list to join Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria.

Russia, Iran, and North Korea have also fused those activities. This article previously appeared in War On The Rocks. There was a time when much of U.S. academia was engaged in weapon systems research for the Defense Department and intelligence community. Some of the best and brightest wanted to work for defense contractors or corporate research and development labs. And the best startups spun out of Stanford were building components for weapon systems.

A River in Darkness: One Man’s Escape from North Korea ** ( my write up ). Many of you know that I’m on a mission to read 52 books this year. A book a week. The previous two years I averaged about 35 books, so I thought upping that to 52 would be doable. Not easy, but doable. And somehow, someway, I’m actually ahead of schedule. I’ve read 41 books so far and there are 17 weeks left in the year.

A River in Darkness: One Man’s Escape from North Korea ** ( my write up ). While I read 52 books in 2018 , I only managed 36 books in 2019. I say only because I was shooting for 53 (you know, one more than the year before) but realized pretty early on that was an unrealistic goal. I think averaging three books a month is my sweet spot.

In North Korea, there are already signs that the bitcoin is being used, both in the capital, in Phenian, but also in cities along the border with China, such as Sakchu and Sinuiju, known for a large number of Chinese traffickers. As demonstrated by the example of North, citizens will be able to have the forbidden product and keep it hidden. Many Bitcoiners are wondering if the bitcoin can be forbidden. It’s a thorny question that not so many think about.
