I heard that Cuba is also a world leader in pharmaceutical product research and production.

Reducing stress. It doesn't mean that you should ignore your problems. It's all about trying methods that allow you to cultivate calmness through meditation and breathing, slow conscious breathing is known to have an effect on the brain

Really, a lot of the problems with North Korea's economy isexacerbated by international sanctions, which prevent other countries from exporting goods to the North. Part of the reason why they resort to more sneaky and dishonest ways to fund their countries treasury.

There has been visits to North Korea using investigative journalism, ruling out things like forced state haircuts (sounds ridiculous enough). A lot of these news sources seem to come from dishonest and sensationalised titles and media. I think it's best to look at it from the perspective of investigative media, as North Korea is more secretive than the US media pretends it to not be. So, most reports are just rumours rather than solid investigations.

Neo-liberal media and neoconservative media always uses their billionaire funded think tanks to promote American imperialism, values and economics unto the world. If you think this strategically, North Korea has a lot of mineral resources that are exploitable by America.

Personally, I don't know what goes on in North Korea. Nobody does. The media prevents us from seeing North Korea beyond the spectacles that Western media presents. Such as totalitarian tropes, things like that.

Because the media has manufactured consent and the CIA is known to be an unreliable source of information.

Big jabs with the whole North Korea take. Makes sense when the media believes it's all totalitarian/surveillance state. Considering they are enacting "anti-terrorism" laws against the left it makes sense with a heavy dose of irony.

This is a very interesting biography. Being reminded about how he let Hamas seize power in Palestine by allowing funding and terrorist attacks remind me of a BBC panaroma about Israel's conspiracy with Hamas.

I think I'll carry on using Musify, which meets my basic needs. There's no login for that app, so it's useful. I'll try the Invidious proxies though. Thank you.
