Andrew J. Farrara

World traveler, writer, adventurer, entrepreneur, artist, romantic poet, Italian opera affezionato, ex-rugby player, and political animal! Andrew J. Farrara was born in Reading, Pa. in September 1950 and educated in the Reading School District. Coming-of-age in then-industrial Pennsylvania gave him an insatiable wanderlust. Since 1967 the author has traveled to over 135 countries and territories as determined by the Travelers’ Century Club lastly on a cruise from Genoa through the Suez Canal to the island of Mauritius and a flight to Madagascar, Ethiopia and England in 2019. He has visited all Seven Continents, including Antarctica, every State of the United States except North Dakota, and has conducted three around-the-world backpacking expeditions; for 8 weeks in 1983; 220 days in 1987-88; and 5 weeks in 2018. The second trip was the subject of his book entitled Around the World in 220 Days: Notes of an American Traveler Abroad published by Infinity Press in 2004. The author holds a BA in History and Political Science (1972) and an MA in Modern European History (1975) from Kutztown University, Pa. He taught social studies and history part-time in the Reading School District and at the Reading Area Community College before serving as an elected Reading School Board member from 1975 to 1977. Farrara served honorably in the Pennsylvania Air and Army National Guard from 1972 to 1978 as a Telecommunications Center Specialist in the 193rd Tactical Electronic Warfare Group at Middletown, Pa and as a Tank Crewman, Machine Gunner & Loader in the 103rd Armor & as an Infantry Soldier & Radio Operator in the 111th Infantry at the Kutztown Armory, Pa. from 1973 to 1978. The author held the positions of Supervisor then Superintendent of Recreation for the City of Reading from 1978 to 1987 resigning his later position to conduct his nine-month Around the World trip from Dec 1987 to Aug 1988. The author was also trained, certified and graduated from the 160-hour residential District Magistrate Program of the Minor Judiciary Education Board at Wilson College in Chambersburg Pennsylvania in 1982 and as a Pennsylvania Police Officer completing the 480-hour Reading Police Academy in 1983-4. He also completed a Para-Legal Certificate Program in 1976-77 at Penn State Berks Campus. Andrew J. Farrara currently operates an independent insurance agency in Reading since 1988 and spends his free time writing, observing, traveling, painting, and learning. In attempting to keep in shape intellectually and physically his personal motto has always been the well-known Chinese proverb: “Civilize the mind but make savage the body.” The author is presently working on an additional novel entitled Bonfire of the Gods about a group of world travelers taking a Grand Tour of Italia in 1896 starting in Rome Italy moving down to the mysterious Mezzogiorno of Napoli and Sicilia.

LEON TROTSKY: Although you satirized me, Orwell, born Eric Hugh Blair in 1903 in the Bengal India dying in a London hospital in 1950, I have forgiven you in the Kingdom but must witness this Marxist abortion they called North Korea.

EUGENE DEBS: Leon Trotsky, born Lev Davidovich Bronstein in 1879 in the Ukraine of the Tsarist Russian Empire and died in Mexico in 1940, why do you think that Amerikan socialism, in the most capitalist of all capitalist nations of the USA, never achieved electoral victory as in West Europe from England to Scandinavia to Italy?

GEORGE ORWELL: Amerikan exceptionalism should be turned on its head. What do you think, Snowball Trotsky? LEON TROTSKY: Snowball Trotsky! All nations believe in their politikal ideology that they are exceptional be they from ancient Sumeria to Eygpt to Ottoman Turkey to China to Japan to Mongolia to France and Germany and Russia and Spain and Portugal to the Aztecs Mayans and Incas and finally Amerika which still wants to hold the self-righteous British Empire mantle of imperialism.

EUGENE DEBS: "After this year’s alpalp I am going to start the first Celestial Leftish Book Club and invite both of you there for a symposium with the Brits Oscar Wilde and Christopher Hitchens. Who else should I invite for the first Symposium?"

GEORGE ORWELL: I must do a parody or skit or play or book about the North and South Korean characters and produce it in the Kingdom but how?

LEON TROTSKY: Let’s face it but the Celestial Kingdom is a peaceful sanctutary despite its politikal problems which I won’t delineate and document now but here North Korea has a reputation for being the worst place in the Celestial Afterworld where all Koreans or fellow-travelers can expect to be manipulated silently through psychological tryanny and there are some rumours about sexual slave camps for women and Gulags for politikal prisoners…

EUGENE DEBS: "I quote Orwell’s Animal Farm saying, ‘All Animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.’"

GEORGE ORWELL: I need a cartoonist here to help us satirize the North Koreans. LEON TROTSKY: Karl Marx and Freddy Engels were invited but decided to stay put at the Celestial Kingdom drinking at the new Bavarian Beer Garden gallons of beer trying to resurrect their collaborative works.

EUGENE DEBS: This North Korean Limboland Arena section if like on earth is probably an anti-utopia, the antithesis of personal freedom, a true Orwellian world of repression and indoctrination and personal despair, George.

GEORGE ORWELL: This place is worst than Stalin’s Soviet Union.

LEON TROTSKY: [holding ears] Don’t you even mention that dictator Stalin to in my presence again!

GEORGE ORWELL: North Korean’s testing of their intercontinental ballistic missile system is causing consternation to the West and South Korea and Japan.

LEON TROTSKY: So what if China, Cuba, Syria and Iran supply important nuclear material and trade to Stalinist North Korea and give them cheap military hardware and offer military training. They have the right to self-defense in an extremely hostile world towards the remaining Communist countries, however ill-defined and reactionary they are.

EUGENE DEBS: I hear that both China and India are their biggest trading partners.

GEORGE ORWELL: North Korea does still maintain diplomatic relationships with over 160 nations and does have embassies in 47 countries, I have read.

LEON TROTSKY: If I was running North Korea I would use secret front companies with friendly nations to conceal any trade in precious goods and equipment, necessary military hardware and even humanitarian goods to escape the economic sanctions.

EUGENE DEBS: I don’t like what the North Korean totalitarian government is doing with these so-called defectors by imprisoning and torturing them.

GEORGE ORWELL: I also heard that Russia exports much refined oil and petroleum products to the North Koreans.

LEON TROTSKY: I don’t really think these sanctions really work as the Allied Intervention into Russia did not work in Russia after World War I.

EUGENE DEBS: Rogue regimes I can respect being a rogue politician myself on earth in America but the broader question is nuclear arms and the need to have all nuclear weapons to be eliminated immediately in the interest of all humanity for the next world war may be our last.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Juui! Attention, please. The North Korean Limboland Section is proudly sponsoring a Christmas Party designed for only the youngsters here of the Korean ethnic group and other visitors with Santa Claus coming on this sleigh with his adorable reindeer. I think I see them now. It is starting within the next hour at the Gates of the beloved North Korean Celestial Wonderland. Children will get gifts from our Beloved Leader of delicious candy canes and his personal picture. We fight each and every day the vicious propaganda the West, under the revengeful eyes of the Amerikan capitalist dogs and their South Korean rabid stooges, who emit to slander our utopian Korean world. Goh-map-SUM-nee-da! Thank you very much. Ho Ho Ho, said Santa Claus.

FOREWORD

HERE WE GO AGAIN!

Land of the Morning Calm!

ZARATHUSTRA: The shameless exploitation of the weak by the strong! Adam, if you think the Soviet Russian Limboland Arena will be something totalitarian and mind-controlling, you must experience this. A political Darwinian struggle for existence with psychological manipulation!

JOURNALIST: North Korea Limboland here would be a great place for the political cartoonist.

ZARATHUSTRA: North Korea on earth and here has a reputation for being very secret and paronoid.

JOURNALIST: Who is in charge of this Korean Limboland now? The Soviets have their NKVD and KGB. What does the North Koreans use?

ZARATHUSTRA: Today in the early 21st century Korea is still governed by an Armistice not a Peace Treaty since the Korean War of 1950 to 1953. America never achieved total victory as in Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in 1945 with President Truman literally fighting what some analysts call a limited war of Communist containment.

JOURNALIST: [writing] So there is in Korea today an indefinite armed truce splitting the nation into the North Korea and South Korea.

ZARATHUSTRA: Please remember that President Teddy Roosevelt was granted the Noble Peace Prize in 1906 as the celebrated mediator of the Treaty of Portsmouth in the Russo-Japanese War of 1905 permitting the Japanese control over all of Korea.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Oops, friends of North Korean Utopia again. We forgot to add with your sublime indulgence that the elite South Korean capitalists and their petty bourgeois criminal partners here always engage in burlesque sarcasm of all visitors who visit here in a weird narcissistic evil way to demean and slander all the wonderful visitors who simply come to see the Korean world as it really is. Remember that North Korean Revolution led by our democratic Beloved Leader works diligently for all the Korean proletariat and peasantry not just the slimy conniving exploitative greedy bosses. Goh-map-SUM-nee-da! Thank you very much.

Sounds of soldiers marching and singing.

JOURNALIST: I love those North Korean announcements spouting propaganda.

ZARATHUSTRA: Here we go again! South Korean Defense Force is marching and singing.

SARGEANT: I know a defector gal in Pyongyang!

SOLDIERS: I know a defector gal in Pyongyang!

SARGEANT: She loves the Dear Leader and her kimchi hung!

SOLDIERS: She loves the Dear Leader and her kimchi hung!

SARGEANT: Chinese crap is also full of ying and yang!

SOLDIERS: Chinese crap is also full of ying and yang!

SARGEANT: Beware of hateful Chinese Confucian gang!

SOLDIERS: Beware of hateful Chinese Confucian gang!

SARGEANT: We like to pizz in their culinary pan!

SOLDIERS: We like to pizz in their culinary pan!

SARGEANT: So we can give it to our friends in Japan!

SOLDIERS: So we can give it to our friends in Japan!

SARGEANT: There was ugly whore from Commie China!

SOLDIERS: There was ugly whore from Commie China!

SARGEANT: Who put razor blade in her vagina!

SOLDIERS: Who put razor blade in her vagina!

SARGEANT: North Koreans say they have some nuclear bombs!

SOLDIERS: North Koreans say they have some nuclear bombs!

SARGEANT: Which is their front for exterminating pogroms!

SOLDIERS: Which is their front for exterminating pogroms!"

SARGEANT: Give us liberty or give us death!

SOLDIERS: Give us liberty or give us death!

VOICES: Sound off…!

Moves out of hear range.

JOURNALIST: [aside] That was serious satire. It seems like the South Korean soldiers don’t like the North Koreans, Chinese nor Japanese.

SOUTH KOREAN ESCAPE BROKER: [walks by] Hey, fellas, listen to the North Korean Propaganda artists nearby.

NARRATORS VEZY & SARA: Two North Korean Politikal Propaganda Artists are watching them silently then snicker with a North Korean Politikal Cadre, a North Korean Workers Party Politburo Member and a North Korean Intelligence Officer.

NORTH POLITIKAL PROPAGANDA ARTIST CHUL-SOO: [drawing & talking] Roses are red; violets are red; our politics are red; and so is our underwear. [laughs]

NORTH POLITIKAL PROPAGANDA ARTIST BYONG-HO: We must satirize these capitalist renegades without mercy.

NORTH POLITIKAL CADRE: And dismiss bourgeois facts as propaganda.

NORTH POLITBURO MEMBER: "South Korea elite are politikal hacks and

tools of the Amerikan capitalist military establishment."

NORTH INTELLIGENCE OFFICER: Defending the Fatherland is most important for us.

NORTH POLITIKAL PROPAGANDA ARTIST CHUL-SOO: [doodling] South Korean art is boring and dull and decadent.

NORTH POLITIKAL PROPAGANDA ARTIST BYONG-HO: [drawing semi-nude females] We have the best female gymnasts in the world and very sexy too.

NORTH POLITIKAL CADRE: [quietly] I do like the Amerikan style fried chicken though.

NORTH POLITBURO MEMBER: We must satirize Amerikan McCarthyism.

NORTH INTELLIGENCE OFFICER: Amerikan political cartoonists have 90 % liberals and 10% conservatives.

NORTH POLITIKAL PROPAGANDA ARTIST CHUL-SOO: [drawing] These South Korean soldiers are wacky, insulting authoritarian zombies believing in the western propaganda about the beauty of capitalism.

NORTH POLITIKAL PROPAGANDA ARTIST BYONG-HO: [drawing guns & women love each other] Paranoid Amerikans live in a crazy place where everyone has a gun and shoots their neighbor when they argue over a parking space for their extravagant automobile.

NORTH POLITIKAL CADRE: Our one party State is most efficient for our people.

NORTH POLITBURO MEMBER: North Korea is not a dictatorship. Our Party gives us democracy and our Dear Leader guidance.

NORTH INTELLIGENCE OFFICER: Juche self-reliance is celestial too.

NORTH POLITBURO MEMBER: We ain’t going to take their capitalist crapola anymore. Do some cartoons about that.

NORTH INTELLIGENCE OFFICER: We must construct a Korean Peoples Movement here like on earth but must be shrewder and more cunning because the Celestial Kingdom has their spies everywhere.

They depart.

NARRATORS VEZY & SARA: A prominent South Korean Professor of Psychiatry is meeting privately with Zarathustra and Adam discussing the current situation on earth and here.

SOUTH KOREAN PROFESSOR OF PSYCHIATRIST: Adam and Zarathustra, the Celestial Kingdom is quietly investigating the possibility that the North Koreans use propaganda, brainwashing and Politikal Police called the State Security Department here as they did on earth to control all the inhabitants trying to repeat their performances on earth but here it is more difficult for us to ascertain.

ZARATHUSTRA: The Glory and Tragedy of the Korean Peninsula! Terror and Revenge is still so apparent not only on earth yet but here in the Limboland Arena with the Communist North and the Capitalist South still competing for the ‘hearts and souls’ of the Korean people here.

JOURNALIST: Freedom, democracy and prosperity is always the stated goal of any modern political groups in any country. Korea is still one of the last vestiges of the brutal wasteful Cold War spending splitting their nation into two opposing camps.

SOUTH KOREAN PROFESSOR OF PSYCHIATRIST: Zarathustra and Adam, one can say that both Koreas suffer from a ‘victim’s complex’ although you will notice here as on earth that both nations display a special ‘self-confidence’ and ‘self-respect’ within their own diverse worlds that is unique despite their difficult modern political history being torn between China on the west and Japan on the east and their subsequent status after the settlement of World War II with the occupation by the Russians, Chinese and Americans and the establishment of the DMZ Zone and split into North and South Korea and the subsequent Korean War.

JOURNALIST: [writing] Professor, how do you interpret the relationships between the North and South now on earth and here?

SOUTH KOREAN PROFESSOR OF PSYCHIATRIST: Admittedly still very tense on earth and here, Adam. We must remember that Seoul is a prosperous global city while Pyongyang is depressing although set up as showcase. We have made many proposed ‘educational exchanges’ there and here to generate the beginning of a Re-unification Process where both Koreas would become One Korea. South Korea has had its economic miracle. We want a peaceful resolution to this conflict on earth and here too. When there is genuine peace there will be many tremendous political, economic, military, technological and trade interests and advantages for America, China, Russia and Japan and both Koreas. North Korea is still isolated diplomatically and makes stupid provocative military gestures to us and the West all the time.

ZARATHUSTRA: Professor, the North has a reputation for having a despotic self-serving bureaucracy using this system of the Cult of Personality as in their Dear Leader, Eternal President and current grandson as Leader?

SOUTH KOREAN PROFESSOR OF PSYCHIATRIST: As Professor of a new sub-field of Political Psychiatry I developed at the Celestial University I must say that North Korea even here has a privileged Stalinist-type bureaucracy, operating a gross mismanagement of its natural resources remembering that on earth in the 1990’s North Korea suffered over 3.5 million deaths from its terrible famine, we estimate. Their continued testing of their nuclear weapons system has been so provocative angering not only the West but their only ally China and Russia and Japan particularly.

ZARATHUSTRA: There are many ‘twists and turns’ in Korean history. Would you tell us more of your interpretations to prepare us for a visit here?

SOUTH KOREAN PROFESSOR OF PSYCHIATRIST: North Koreans love to play the ‘cat and mouse’ game. The Celestial Kingdom won’t permit a militarized border here as also in the other Limboland Arenas. When Japan occupied Korea after the Russo-Japanese War of 1905 annexing Korea in 1910 the Koreans were devastated by the Japanese imperialists seeing themselves as victims of a colonial power again.

JOURNALIST: Who has nuclear weapons today?

ZARATHUSTRA: America, Russia, England, France, China, Israel, India, Pakistan, and North Korea totaling nine. Adam, Dr Park fought in the Korean War between 1950 and 1953.

SOUTH KOREAN PROFESSOR OF PSYCHIATRIST: Many political analysts call North Korea today a ‘deformed workers state Paradise.’ I was there in Korean War as a medic between 1950 and 1953 and saw the virtual destruction of the USA 7th Infantry Division at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. The USA was always considered to be an expansionist state in history like Japan, China and Russia.

SOUTH KOREAN ASSISTANT: [arrives] Excuse us, please, but Doctor Park, you forgot your lecture at the special meeting with the Celestial Psychiatrist Board concerning the Eastern affairs of Confucianism, Buddhism, Capitalism and Marxism as it Relates to the Koreans. We have 60 minutes to return to the Celestial Kingdom.

They skip out quickly.

ANNOUNCEMENT: "Yo-bo-say-YO Hello. Pan-gap-SUM-nee-da Happy to see you. Welcome to the Glorious North Korean section of the Korean Limboland Arena. Please beware of the capitalist swine counter-revolutionary western AMERICAN CIA NSA DIA OSS and British Intelligence dupes here crapping on your path everywhere you go by installing the petty thieves and pickpockets throughout causing havoc and giving you the impression that they are North Korean and not South Korean as they really are. We love all Peoples of the World, socialist or not but repudiate all capitalists who exploit the proletariat and peasantry throughout the world below and here. Goh-map-SUM-nee-da Thank you and an-YON-ghee DA-n’yuh o-SIP-see-yo Have a good trip."

CHINESE COMMUNIST INTELLIGENCE OFFICER: As Chairman Mao once said: China and North Korea is ‘as close as lips and teeth.’

PRELUDE

NORTH KOREAN INDOCTRINATION SYSTEM

ONE VOICE: Juche! Juche! Juche!

MANY LOUD VOICES: Juche! Juche! Juche!

ONE VOICE: Self-Reliance! Self-Reliance! Self-Reliance!

MANY LOUD VOICES: Self-Reliance! Self-Reliance! Self-Reliance!

ONE VOICE: We will never be defeated!

MANY LOUD VOICES: We will never be defeated!

LOUD VOICES: They can call us the Hermit Kingdom.

MANY LOUD VOICES: They can call us the Hermit Kingdom.

LOUD VOICE: But we will never be shut out here!

MANY LOUD VOICES: But we will never be shut out here!

Shouts of anger and happiness.

NORTH KOREAN POLITIKAL CADRE: [reading to himself under a tree] "Our Eternal President Kim Il-sung was born in 1912 and died in 1994.

"I am now reading the Preface of the glorious book of 504 pages entitled the History of Revolutionary Activities of President Kim Il-sung: ‘Kim Il Sung, the great leader of the Korean people, was the author of the Juche idea and Songun idea, pioneer of the revolutionary cause of Juche, founder of socialist Korea and eternal President of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

"Devoting his life to the cause of the independence of the masses for 70 years since he embarked on the road of the Korean revolution in his early teens, he piled up outstanding imperishable exploits.

"He pioneered the revolutionary cause of Juche by force of arms; he defeated Japanese imperialism in his thirties to liberate Korea and the self-styled mightiest US imperialism in his forties to defend the security of his country and sovereignty of his nation."

JOURNALIST: [aside] This Cadre don’t stop talking to himself.

ZARATHUSTRA: [aside] These North Korean cadres are really dedicated or show us they’re dedicated.

NORTH KOREAN POLITIKAL CADRE: [reading to himself under a tree] "Our Eternal President Kim Il-sung led the anti-imperialist, anti-feudal democratic revolution, socialist revolution and socialist construction to victory, thus establishing a socialist system, in which the masses of the people have become the masters of everything and everything serves them, and a powerful socialist country, independent, self-supporting and self-reliant in national defence. By frustrating at every step the imperialists’ and other hostile forces’ schemes to isolate and stifle the DPRK, he staunchly defended the Korean style of socialism centred on the masses and demonstrated its might across the world.

"He brought the problem of succession to the revolutionary cause of Juche to a brilliant solution, and rendered outstanding contributions to expediting the independent reunification of his country and the cause of the independence of other peoples all over the world.

"Regarding The people are my God as his motto during the whole period of his revolutionary career, he always shared good times and bad with his people, did everything for their benefit, and devoted his all to the prosperity of his country and the well-being of his people till the last moment of his life.

"For the imperishable achievements he made for his country and fellow people and for the times and history, Kim Il Sung will always live in the hearts of mankind as the sun of Juche.’"

NARRATORS VEZY & SARA: The North Korean Politikal Cadre closes the book and lays it down happily dreaming of political exploits in this Korean Limboland Arena where North Korea would control all. He was taught that love for a sexual partner was not proper; only love for Dear Leader and Socialist Fatherland.

RUSSIAN MARXIST SCHOLAR: [walking by] Just remember, Zarathustra and Adam, North Korea is trying to build a Workers Utopian Paradise on earth and here and they are getting sabotaged all the time by Amerika, South Korea and the Western anti-North Korean forces of reactionary hate and jealousy. We Russians on earth stopped helping them after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 but some of us still want to help build their wonderful Utopian World here where love and fellowship and not hate and divisiveness abound all the time.

JOURNALIST: Who was that?

ZARATHUSTRA: [smiles] Some Russian scholar on the payroll of the North Koreans trying to convince you the North Koreans are pure and not evil.

JOURNALIST: This Juche concept appears to be their politikal atheistic God Head.

ZARATHUSTRA: The Celestial Kingdom wants to send a strong clear message about espousing here revolutionary take-over actions is not permitted but that usually does not work until they push them against the wall and threaten them to go through extensive re-education camps back in the Purgatorio to stop this nonsense.

JOURNALIST: Here we go again with more strife and hatred and misunderstanding.

ZARATHUSTRA: Adam, the UN on earth has documented many things the North Koreans have committed like Crimes Against Humanity in International Law, many human rights abuses, widespread violence against their own people, peaceful assembly denied, arbitrary and extra-judicial killings, torture, enslavement, disappearances, rape, forced abortions, political prison camps, workers rights denied etc. etc.

JOURNALIST: Sounds like the days of Uncle Joe Stalin in the olde Soviet Union. Well, we will see soon how things are developing here in the Limboland Arena.

ZARATHUSTRA: And next we are going to Vietnam and then the Amerikan Limboland Arena to hear the Seven Presidents.

ANNOUNCEMENT: "Jay song HAM-nee-da, excuse me, please. We have scheduled an important Economics Lecture by brave North Korean Chair of Economics Department Professor on Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Superiority Philosophy resulting in a utopian classless society as we are trying to build here despite massive imperialist opposition. Come to North Korean open Lecture Hall at end of visit in two hours. Goh-map-SUM-nee-da thank you."

ZARATHUSTRA: [aside] You will discover, Adam, that here the North Koreans are more organized and collective while the South Koreans are unorganized and individualistic.

JOURNALIST: So we should expect to hear more Announcements from the North Koreans than the South Koreans here?

SOUTH KOREAN POLITICAL LEADER: [walking] I hate the North Koreans so much and even here but I discovered coming here after reviewing much of the Intelligence Reports that we have cheated, bluffed, misinformed and miscommunicated to purposely, fleeced, conned and manipulated by the USA on earth to support their Cold War ideological system and we ain’t gotta let that happen here.

SOUTH KOREAN AIDE-DE-CAMP: [walking] I also want us to be totally Independent and not pro-Western nor Pro-Eastern. We are South Koreans first.

PREPOSTEROUS PRIMORDIAL

PREFACE

JOURNALIST: Zarathustra, the Limboland established by God Himself many centuries ago was and is supposed to be entirely De-militarized. Is that still true?

ZARATHUSTRA: Absolutely, Adam. Although God does not desire the souls to live anywhere but in the Celestial Kingdom he has permitted those souls to live their celestial lives in the Limboland but they must abide by his rules of the Limbolands being totally De-militarized and they are not permitted by the Celestial Leadership to conduct any battles and wars or temporary skirmishes.

JOURNALIST: But I thought you said earlier that both the Korean and Vietnamese Limboland Arenas still have their DMZ zones.

ZARATHUSTRA: They do but they are not militarized as on earth. As soon as they start to expand these DMZ zones the Celestial Monitors arrive and stop them but that is easier said than done. Of course espionage and counter-intelligence and secret agent stuff from the 20th century Russian-Chinese Marxism and Western and Amerikan Capitalism ideological conflicts for the souls of mankind still exist here in a rather baffling sense of that Olde Cold War nostalgia. Creeping Militarization is their term!

ANNOUNCEMENT: Remember, celestial brothers of sisters, that you must forgive all your past enemies then love them eternally with the compassion that our God has given us.

JOURNALIST: Korea, also known as Chosen, was the ‘land of the morning calm.’

ZARATHUSTRA: Well, there is the Korean Limboland Arena straight ahead within massive stone walls which are torn down and rebuilt often because of being in the epicenter of Infernal earthquakes.

JOURNALIST: Is there a scientific explanation for that? I love these cherry blossom trees.

ZARATHUSTRA: Adam, in the Celestial Kingdom and Inferno there are no rational explanations.

BUDDHIST POET: [walks by] Z-man, don’t trust the North Koreans here.

JOURNALIST: "Well, I do see the sign stating Welcome All Visitors to Korean Limboland Arena. Who was that?"

ZARATHUSTRA: Probably a South Korean spy. I was told there are beautiful ruins to a Korean Buddhist temple here built in the BC era but where? By the way, Adam, I forgot to tell you that we will be assigned a Tour Guide to see the Korean Limboland Arena.

JOURNALIST: [smiles] I think she’s coming now.

CELESTIAL INVESTIGATOR: [walking] Yes, we must verify all these things going on here from electoral fraud to religious oppression to creeping militarization.

CELESTIAL HEAD MONITOR: [walking by] We must do things here like as Amerikan President Obama said concerning the nuclear deal with Iran that ‘is not built on trust; it is built on verification.’ I am very hungry and thirsty!

NARRATORS VEZY & SARA: Some souls are walking by to visit the Korean Limboland Arena.

OLDE ARAB DIPLOMAT: Remember, brother, as we understand very well in diplomacy that ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend.’ Shalom, sayeth my Israeli friend.

YOUNG ARAB DIPLOMAT-IN-TRAINING: Yeh, I think I understand that, Salom, brother of Abraham. So we should ally with ‘the enemy of my enemy’ assuming of course that that enemy is going to support you too?

OLDE HINDOO DIPLOMAT: Excuse me, diplomatic men of Abraham, but that phrase originated in Hindoo India. Namaste.

SMALL GUY: [quietly] Our man in Cairo told me that the real Maltese Falcon is here. But where is it, cinematic Fat Man of all Fat Men?

FAT GUY: Remember, you are my bodyguard and I am a British antiquities dealer from Morocco. Let’s stop for a drink and I don’t want no arrogant private detectives like Sherlock Holmes, Sam Spade or Philip Marlowe snooping around us.

EVOLUTIONARY ANTHROPOLOGIST: Nor femme fatales. I was told they have some Chinese panda bears here too.

GERMANIC FEMME FATALE: Hey, Fat Guy Leader, if you want me to help you in this operation you must dine me with the best and Korean food ain’t going to cut the mustard.

ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE: [aside] I thought I just heard the word Sherlock Holmes being used here.

NARRATORS VEZY & SARA: A few ox carts and souls walking next to them pass them on the way through one of the many gates to Limboland Seoul and Korea.

UNIFICATION CHURCH MOONIE: [walking] I love our Dear Leader Sun Myong Moon who died in 2012 and is expected to build a Moon Church Land here in the Limboland Arena somewhere but there is conflict between him and both the North and South Koreans here.

CATHOLIC KOREAN: [walking] I am a lapsed Catholic who regained my belief here but I love real Korean food and culture.

KOREAN LITERATURE WRITER: We Koreans are proud Mongolian Oriental race…I was olde proud tiger hunter living in a mythical bamboo forest with leopard pet named Leopold and a peregrine for hawking…

JAPANESE VISITOR: [laughs while walking] I can’t stand the taste of this inferior Korean food which I consider to be a culinary catastrophe.

CHAPTERS

KOREAN TOUR GUIDE KIM-LEE SHOWS UP

NARRATORS VEZY & SARA: Some North Koreans are walking through the Gates alone unimpeded.

NORTH KOREAN CADRE: [walking] We must hate the Axis of Evilness USA even here who has and will continue to sabotage our progress and cultural advancement in our new Limboland Arena we try to develop here through right ideology and teamwork. Power of our collective North Korean groups is overpowering.

NORTH KOREAN TEACHER: Our children here today must learn Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Russian and English.

NORTH KOREAN CADRE: And we must still repudiate here Chinese Confucianism, Japanese Shintoism, Japanese Zen Buddhism, Asian Buddism and Christianity.

FEMALE NORTH KOREAN HISTORIAN: I was studying history of Wang the Founder dynasty, Concubines, exploitative concessions, the economics of rice production, imperialist European Commissioners, ginseng, harsh corvee, gross western-inspired corruption, class oppression, thieving Japanese Banks, art of writing and Buddhism until Our Reverend Beloved Great Leader shown up to tell us how to solve our problems collectively not individually.

NORTH KOREAN CADRE: Remember, cadres, our collective Korean happiness must rely on the cold barrel of a gun in an increasingly dangerously Limboland of western international imperialist and capitalist competition and exploitation.

NORTH KOREAN CADRE-IN-TRAINING: The Amerikan Imperialists today on earth are attacking the Middle East for the purpose to dominate the natural resources of oil for their own selfish benefit in their conspicuous consumption and drug-induced television-dominated society of crime and drugs. The Amerikan Imperialists are also trying to strangle and subvert the North Korean Socialist Paradise so we must be vigilant and strong and learn to sacrifice for the Good of the Collective North Koreans until we defeat the Amerikan Imperialists and their lackeys and stooges of colonialism.

NORTH KOREAN CADRE: Excellent, our Cadre-in-Training. You will soon work in Cooperative Farm with sheep, pig and goat and then Military Self-Defense Force here. We all must accept revolutionary Self-Reliance using our Juche Philosophy articulated by our Dear Eternal Leader. We must dominate our enemies ideologically. North Korea is one big collective family desiring just Peace and Freedom for all not just ourselves.

BUDDHIST MONK: [drops off bottle & departs quickly] Om, om…

NORTH KOREAN TEACHER: Korea did have a few Holy Martyrs of the Catholic Church. Oops, what is this, Buddhist priest?

NORTH KOREAN CADRE: [stops] Cadres, I will confiscate this in the name of the Korean people and sample this equally here. American Kentucky Bourbon whiskey!

NORTH KOREAN CADRE-IN-TRAINING: Stop, Cadre! This might be a trick with a hidden sleeping pill from the USA CIA Mind Control programme to sabotage us here…

ANNOUNCEMENT: Remember, Korean brothers of sisters, that there is too much needless violence in the world below and we do not want to repeat those mistakes as the Spanish philosopher George Santayana sayeth; ‘Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.’ Goh-map-SUN-nee-da. Thank you.

NARRATORS VEZY & SARA: Outside the Gate Zarathustra and Adam are waiting for their Korean Tour Guide Kim-Lee.

#1TOUR GUIDE KIM-LEE: [arrives & bows] Zarathustra, I arrive to help you and Adam to negotiate the Korean Limboland Arena. Thank you very much.

ZARATHUSTRA: Pleasure to meet you, Kim-Lee. This is Adam.

JOURNALIST: A great pleasure to meet you, Kim-Lee.

#2TOUR GUIDE KIM-LEE: We shall now stop for tea and food in Korean Café inside Gates and talk of Korean history and culture there.

JOURNALIST: How many gates are here and how long is wall?

#3TOUR GUIDE KIM-LEE: Many gates. I think 16! Those olde men playing cards there on table outside Gate is North Korean spies checking out all of tourists coming here.

JOURNALIST: What about the South Korean spies?

ZARATHUSTRA: Adam, North Korea on earth is the least known or understood country.

#4TOUR GUIDE KIM-LEE: North Korea will show a Mass Gymnastics Extravaganza Event with over 100,000 souls sometime tomorrow after the Annual Lantern Parade.

JOURNALIST: [repeats] There are no South Korean spies here?

#5TOUR GUIDE KIM-LEE: Some too, Adam. Sorry to avoid you. Oops, I hear a North Korean Air Raid already. The North Koreans are told never to forget the Imperialist Korean War and its atrocities and bombing within that ugly chapter of the Cold War which still occurs here yet.

JOURNALIST: Has not mankind learned any lessons of history even here?

#6TOUR GUIDE KIM-LEE: Probably not, Adam. North Korea on earth has had many natural disasters causing deaths and starvations, use food rationing all the time, had many state-run miserably failed food harvests and use brain-washing controlling the thinking of its citizens and resulting in much malnutrition.

ZARATHUSTRA: North Korea has few natural resources on earth.

#7TOUR GUIDE KIM-LEE: The female North Koreans here give 5 years in their Self-Defense Force Military while the male North Koreans give 10 years.

NARRATORS VEZY & SARA: They are walking through one of the Gates to a little Café inside. They are required to stop at Korean Customs and Border Control and see a giant Hammer, Sickle and Paint Calligraphy Brush Mural on the North side.

KOREAN CUSTOMS OFFICIAL: [smiles & bows] Welcome, Prophet Zarathustra, First Man Adam and Tour Guide Kim-Lee. You are permitted to enter without documents.

ZARATHUSTRA: Thank you so much.

JOURNALIST: [bows] Goh-map-SUM-nee-da. Thank you.

#8TOUR GUIDE KIM-LEE: Thank you, Customs Official. We have 16 gates, twice as much as Seoul on earth and 28 miles of walls from 25 to 40 feet tall to protect us.

JOURNALIST: Tell us about the Korean War.

#9TOUR GUIDE KIM-LEE: [smiles] Remember, please, that Korean War between North and South from 1950 to 1953 is considered ‘forgotten war’ by many. North Korea invades the South and captured Seoul. USA and allies re-took Seoul and moved North Koreans back north. China intervened then. South Korean was a military dictatorship but now a flourishing democracy known also as a free-market capitalist Asian Tiger economy with Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong but now Hong Kong is Communist hybrid if one can use that term after being ceded as British Colony from 1841 to 1997.

ZARATHUSTRA: Some writers at that time felt that South Korea was simply a servant of their olde colonial ruler, the Japanese imperialists. What do you think?

#10TOUR GUIDE KIM-LEE: Remember that Korean Conflict was and still is a Civil War between the North and South like USA in its Civil War between 1861 until 1865, like Russian Civil War from 1917 to 1922, like Spanish Civil War between 1936 to 1939, like Chinese Civil War between 1927 to 1950, like Vietnam until 1975, like El Salvadoran Civil War between 1980 and 1992, and even going back to in ancient Roman Republic in BC era between Julius Caesar and Pompey and Octavius and Antony etc. etc. Armed Civil War is a problem of mankind since the Beginning.

ZARATHUSTRA: Another criticism of both North and South was that both massacred their political prisoners without due process of the Geneva Accords.

JOURNALIST: [writing down] North Korea’s Kim Il-sung and South Korea’s Syngman Rhee were both brutal dictators?

ZARATHUSTRA: And the North had notorious labor camps and massive famines, I been told.

#11TOUR GUIDE KIM-LEE: Even here a quiet secret is that China Limboland exchanges spies with Taiwanese renegades while South Korea exchanges spies with North Korea.

KOREAN ANGELS GRACE GA-YOON & SUNG-SOOK

ARRIVE SEEING KOREAN OPERA DIVA & PSYCHIATRIST

WHO HANDLES WAR TRAUMA

NARRATORS VEZY & SARA: An extremely nervous but confident Korean Opera Diva is discussing her operatic debut here with her Korean Opera Coach.

KOREAN OPERA DIVA: I can’t sing properly unless the acoustics here are perfect.

ITALIAN OPERA COACH: You want perfection.

KOREAN OPERA DIVA: I am perfection personified. Your opera fans now are from everywhere. The Amerikan Limboland, the Germanic race, the Vikings, the Pre-historic…

ITALIAN OPERA COACH: But not the Chinese and Japanese Limboland yet!

KOREAN OPERA DIVA: Well, you know the Chinese and Japanese!

ITALIAN OPERA COACH: Don’t forget your recital later today.

KOREAN OPERA DIVA: I’m nervous but excited.

ITALIAN OPERA COACH: You still have not decided what aria you want to sing.

AMERICAN JEW: [walking] As a progressive member of the Jewish Reconstructionist Community in the States I came here to investigate how the North and South are getting along here.

ISRAELI HEBREW: [walking] Yes, just like in Israel today between the Jews and Palestinian Arabs.

KOREAN ANGEL GRACE GA-YOON: [aside] Boy, sister, could I eat some fabulous kimchi now.

KOREAN ANGEL SUNG-SOOK: Older sister, let’s go to the restaurant here but remember, we can’t eat no meat.

KOREAN ANGEL GRACE GA-YOON: I wish I could sing as good as her.

KOREAN ANGEL SUNG-SOOK: I want to go to her debut if we can get any tickets here.

KOREAN ANGEL GRACE GA-YOON: You know, the problem with Korea today on earth is that any minor incident between the North and South can turn into a catastrophe and armed conflict.

KOREAN ANGEL SUNG-SOOK: Tensions are always on high alert.

KOREAN ANGEL GRACE GA-YOON: There are always threats and counter- threats, accusations and counter-accusations.

KOREAN ANGEL SUNG-SOOK: South Korea is militarily dependent on Amerika while North Korea is militarily and economically dependent on China.

KOREAN PSYCHIATRIST: [arrives confused] Excuse me, please, Korean Angels, but I am a Celestial Trauma expert and want to sit down and drink some tea, eat some food and get a chance to meet some of these North Korean defectors here as my responsibility requires.

KOREAN ANGEL GRACE GA-YOON: We heard you were coming. Please follow us.

KOREAN ANGEL SUNG-SOOK: You look pretty young being a psychiatrist.

KOREAN PSYCHIATRIST: [walking] I was a genius at age 10 and went to MIT in the States but got bored studying computers so I went to Stanford for graduate work and study astrophysics but got bored so I went to Peking University to get PhD to study medicine and psychiatry and worked in South Korea handling North Korean defectors since my parents were with me being born outside the capital Pyongyang North Korea but we escaped when I was aged 5 and came to Los Angeles where my parents owned a chain of liquor stores in Little Korea or Koreatown.

KOREAN ANGEL GRACE GA-YOON: I thought you were an actor but died young.

KOREAN PSYCHIATRIST: I did try acting but flunked out so I returned to psychiatry and specialize in War and Communist Nation Trauma.

KOREAN ANGEL SUNG-SOOK: You handle war neurosis, battle fatigue, post-traumatic stress disorder or syndrome, shell shock, female rape victims, indoctrination etc.?

KOREAN PSYCHIATRIST: Yep, and even in the Celestial Kingdom we still have many people or souls who suffer these issues so profoundly because their minds still operate as they did on earth but their bodies are dead.

KOREAN ANGEL GRACE GA-YOON: [bows] Fascinating. I am KOREAN ANGEL GRACE GA-YOON and my partner is ANGEL SUNG-SOOK.

KOREAN PSYCHIATRIST: My female partner, Dr Jerri Yumi, is expected to be here. She handles the female rape victims. Oh, here she is now.

NARRATORS VEZY & SARA: The OFFICIAL PALACE HISTORIAN and IMPERIAL CHINESE VICEROY of the Chinese Limboland Arena appear to be cooking up a plot to sabotage and control the Korean Limboland Arena. Would you believe it?

OFFICIAL PALACE HISTORIAN: [quietly] If we can’t manipulate the Chinese Limboland Arena we can manipulate the Koreans, particularly our Little North Korean Brothers who we saved their skins during the Korean Conflict when the Amerikan Imperialist General MacArthur invaded us…

IMPERIAL CHINESE VICEROY: [quietly] Our Little North Korean Brothers who would run interference and die for us again although Chairman Mao did send many Chinese to their death during the infamous Korean War from 1950 to 1953 with probably the total casualty figures over one million…

OFFICIAL PALACE HISTORIAN: [quietly] I don’t think we should tell them that ever…

IMPERIAL CHINESE VICEROY: [quietly] Nor use the phrase Little Korean Brothers.

OFFICIAL PALACE HISTORIAN: [quietly] We must stop the Japanese here and the…

IMPERIAL CHINESE VICEROY: [quietly] And the Russians and help sabotage those stinky Amerikan capitalists and militarists who still want to protect the DMZ separating North and South…

OFFICIAL PALACE HISTORIAN: [quietly] I’m hungry but Korean food is so culinarily a catastrophe.

CULINARY CHARADE NORTH KOREAN SOCIALIST

ICE CREAM STAND SELLING ONLY ONE KIND

NARRATORS VEZY & SARA: "Right outside a bridge connecting the South Korean Limboland enclosed city of Seoul are three middle-aged South Korean females; a Banker, an Architect and an Engineer. They want to order ice cream from an Ice Cream Stand called the Hammer Sickle and Brush Socialist Ice Cream Stand located under a dark green camouflage miltary canvas canopy operated by a smiling North Korean female humming a politikal tune."

NORTH KOREAN ICE CREAM VENDOR: [swaying back & forth practicing his mantra by memory] "Our Eternal President Kim Il-sung said that; ‘United, we stand; divided, we fall. The independence and sovereignty of Korea on democratic lines can be achieved at an early date only if the labouring masses are united as one and all the democratic forces are knit together. Let us concentrate all efforts on the struggle for the unity of the labouring masses and the formation of a mass party in south Korea! Victory belongs to the Korean people who aspire to unity, national independence and democracy. Let us all march forward confidently to victory!’

"And in the words of Our Eternal President Kim Il-sung said later; ‘To this end we consistently maintain the three principles of independence, peaceful reunification and great national unity which the north and the south agreed upon and jointly declared; we hold that on these principles the country should be reunified by founding a confederacy based on one nation, one state, two systems and two governments.’

"And our Our Eternal President Kim Il-sung stated; ‘Further, the work of propaganda and agitation should be stepped up among the broad masses. Education of the masses of the people in socialist ideology should be the main content of the work of propaganda and agitation. What is most important in this connection is to give the workers and peasants, especially the workers, a clear understanding that they are masters of power. When they have such intense consciousness, the workers
