north Korea has a Twitter account you might not know this and they only follow
three people the Twitter account to handle is
you are I am I N zook
to move the accounts are it there the like official Vietnamese in North Korean
accounts
and then they follow a random 25-year-old
from Texas named Jimmy Dushku nobody can figure out why
the official North Korean Twitter account follows this kid he lives in
Austin Texas
he started a website business when he was 14 years old and according to Mother
Jones
he turned those earnings into investments that now include everything
from construction projects in Europe
to real estate in Texas to mines in South America
so he was asked how how is it that the north korean
official account is following you and he says people always ask me how it
happened and I honestly can't remember
it started back in 2010 I was initially surprised
he tweeted back out if he followed back out of courtesy and tweeted back
hello my friend and this started this kind of strange relationship he's
actually received death threats
from North Korean exiles as well as from South Koreans
and now he keeps a pretty low profile although every once in a while he will
do an interview with The born publication on why north korea
follows you this is just amazing Dennis Rodman was the defacto
diplomat to north korea until he pooped in the hot in the hotel hallway and got
sent to rehab and a 25 year old kid from Austin Texas
provides the entire countries social media updates from the United States
right and that there's probably only about 20 people looking at those updates
it all up north korea bright I yeah very interesting its desert terrain
if north korea followed you on twitter I know you're not big on Twitter but if
they did
would you tweet back would you follow back well i would i would tweet at the
things I would tweet would certainly not be very nice I i would do with dennis
rodman should've done
when it when he was over there I not pooping on the floor
I right i'd i'd make sure it's going to relate but apart from proving
I would I would of course call out be I baby human rights violations
yeah okay well there is so Jamie Dushku 25-year-old
that to the north korean Twitter account is following
