First, what is it about North Korea that would make a normal person think. “gee, I think I would like to visit”?  I mean even a half brained conserv should know the horror stories coming out of the country.  But yet you have people that get a tourist visa and jump a plane and go on a vacation to this authoritarian, brutal regime…..why?

Recently an American was arrested and tried as a spy in North Korea…….

North Korea today piled more accusations upon a 25-year-old American arrested there and sentenced to six years’ hard labor. The state-run Korean Central News Agency says Matthew Miller entered the country on a tourist visa from South Korea and deliberately got himself arrested by tearing up his visa in order to become famous, reports CNN. The North says Miller claimed to be seeking asylum because he had attempted and failed to collect secrets about the US government, reports Reuters. “He perpetrated the above-said acts in the hope of becoming a ‘world famous guy’ and the ‘second Snowden’ through intentional hooliganism,” says the KCNA, referring to Edward Snowden.

Pyongyang also thinks that Miller wanted to infiltrate the prison system to investigate human rights conditions and to try to negotiate the release of American prisoner Kenneth Bae. Not much is known about Miller, who graduated from California’s Bakersfield High School in 2008. In an earlier, bizarre story, Reuters reported that he had been in South Korea for several months prior to traveling to the North “pretending to be an Englishman named ‘Preston Somerset.'” He had reportedly been trying to line up artists to adapt Alice in Wonderland in anime form.

Okay, let us be honest….there are two types of people that visit North Korea willingly…..morons and spies…..this guy sounds like the moron, at least to me…….

And now another American has decided that North Korea is the place to be………

The number of Americans in North Korean custody still stands at three after what appears to have been a failed—and incredibly dangerous—attempt by a US citizen to swim across a river border between North and South Korea. Officials in the South say the man was taken into their custody after a border patrol found him lying exhausted on the shores of the Han River, AFP reports. South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency says the man told officials he wanted to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Last fall, a South Korean man was shot dead by South Korean soldiers while trying to swim to the North, reports the AP.

The man, believed to be in his late 20s or early 30s, is being interrogated by “relevant South Korean officials,” a defense ministry official tells CNN. In 1996, another American, 26-year-old Evan Hunziker, became the first US citizen arrested on spying charges by Pyongyang since the end of the Korean War after swimming drunk and naked to North Korea on a dare. His release was secured after three months by then-New Mexico Rep. Bill Richardson, but Hunziker committed suicide less than a month later. Over the weekend, US citizen Matthew Miller was sentenced to six years for entering North Korea illegally and “trying to commit an act of espionage.”

Someone please explain to me why any American, regardless of mental capacity, would want to go to North Korea for any reason?

Damn we are breeding some really stupid citizens…….must be the fluoride.
