President Obama issues Sanctions to North Korea

President Obama came out swinging against North Korea. He ordered new sanctions against them for the hacking of Sony Pictures Entertainment. according to a statement from the White House.

These sanctions target three companies and 10 North Korean government officials, how about that?

The White House press secretary issued this following statement:

Today, the President issued an Executive Order (E.O.) authorizing additional sanctions on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. This E.O. is a response to the Government of North Korea’s ongoing provocative, destabilizing, and repressive actions and policies, particularly its destructive and coercive cyber attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment.
The E.O. authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to impose sanctions on individuals and entities associated with the Government of North Korea. We take seriously North Korea’s attack that aimed to create destructive financial effects on a U.S. company and to threaten artists and other individuals with the goal of restricting their right to free expression.

As the President has said, our response to North Korea's attack against Sony Pictures Entertainment will be proportional, and will take place at a time and in a manner of our choosing. Today's actions are the first aspect of our response.

Let's see how this plays out.

Sony pulls 'The Interview' due to Empty Threats

More drama from the Sony Hack.

We now know that the hack was supported by some freaks in North Korea. And, they or someone  threatened to attack the theaters that will play the film, "The Interview".

In a lot of ways this sounds so silly and stupid, but Sony is afraid and they have pulled the film from release.

Here's their statement:

"In light of the decision by the majority of our exhibitors not to show the film The Interview, we have decided not to move forward with the planned December 25 theatrical release. We respect and understand our partners’ decision and, of course, completely share their paramount interest in the safety of employees and theater-goers.

Sony Pictures has been the victim of an unprecedented criminal assault against our employees, our customers, and our business. Those who attacked us stole our intellectual property, private emails, and sensitive and proprietary material, and sought to destroy our spirit and our morale – all apparently to thwart the release of a movie they did not like. We are deeply saddened at this brazen effort to suppress the distribution of a movie, and in the process do damage to our company, our employees, and the American public. We stand by our filmmakers and their right to free expression and are extremely disappointed by this outcome."

This is stupid. I understand, but they are basically letting the hackers win.
