OWS Success
It looks like Occupy Wall Street (OWS) is a success! In North Korea, that is, with the looney-toon regime of Kim Jong Un.
As the North Korean regime said in an official statement (see below):
"It is the U.S. where people's livelihood and vital rights present themselves as serious problems, in fact, as 99 percent of its population is exploited by those who account for just 1 percent."
Indeed, in egalitarian North Korea, EVERYONE starves, except for Dear Leader Jr. and his cohorts!

North Korea Rallies Against Clinton
PYONGYANG, North Korea, June 18 (UPI) -- North Korea referenced the so-called Occupy movement in a rebuttal to last week's human rights criticism from U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Clinton and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta met with South Korean officials in Washington last week to discuss the security situation on the Korean Peninsula.
North Korea in early 2012 placed a moratorium on long-range missile and nuclear tests in exchange for food assistance from the United States. The deal collapsed, however, when Pyongyang tried to deploy a long-range rocket into orbit in April.
Clinton, during her meeting, said Pyongyang should give up its nuclear ambitions in favor of social welfare.
Pyongyang, through its official Korea Central News Agency, retaliated by pointing to economic gaps in the United States.
"It is the U.S. where people's livelihood and vital rights present themselves as serious problems, in fact, as 99 percent of its population is exploited by those who account for just 1 percent," a message read.
The report went on to say that the Democratic Party in the United States should address the "huge hordes of jobless people" if it hopes to secure a win for U.S. President Barack Obama in November.
In terms of domestic policy, KCNA said its leader, Kim Jong Un, has outlined goals that would improve the standard living conditions for the North Korean people.

"Mr. Netanyahu is one of the most media-savvy politicians on the planet. On Friday he appeared live via video link on 'Real Time with Bill Maher,' taking the host’s alternately sardonic and serious line of questioning with gazelle-like alacrity."
~ Anthony Grant, jourrnalist who has written for many major newspapers and worked in television at Paris and Tel Aviv, interviewing former PM Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, at the outset of Mr. Netanyahu's new book (more here).
