All three articles are from KCNA, North Korea's news agency,
with a little cut-and-paste to make it In Nomine content.
Yes, ALL the articles in ALL the North Korean newspapers and
radio news broadcasts are like that. Every day. These are the
*headline news* articles, by the way. Yes, an article about
some foreign delegation or other for some ceremony or other is
the top of the hour news. And yes, these are accurate translations.
I have asked Korean linguists-- the language is just as stilted in the
original. (Most Communist press isn't quite this bad--but Pravda
and Ivestia back in the day were only slightly better.)
The Media can operate in ways very different from the Western
media and still serve Hell nicely. (There's no problem with
corporations owning the news sources, right-wing commentators,
advertisers putting on pressure, pandering to the least common
denominator viewers, concern with ratings, and *most certainly
not* with valuing entertainment over information in KCNA!)
Nybbas doesn't often manifest as a a stern scowling bureaucrat
in a grey Mao suit with a completely different vocabulary set
for his babble and glasses showing endless loops of triumphant
military parades and delegations of Hellsworn and Ethereals
swearing loyalty to Lucifer--but it happens.
