I am not a member of any of the pro-DPRK supporting groups or associations operating outside North Korea. Neither do I oppose any of these entities – indeed – I have openly communicated on occasion with the committed Westerners that constitute their membership. I have, for instance, discussed with Dr Dermot Hudson (by far the most knowledgeable foreign expert on the DPRK) – and purchased a number of his books whilst also reading his online essays, etc. The prevailing view outside of the DPRK is that an individual has to be a member of one of these entities to connect with North Korea – but there are other ways. Furthermore, and with respect, I do not necessarily agree with everything said or done in the name of North Korea outside of North Korea. Through my work translating old and contemporary Chinese-language texts (I am a forensic translator) I have been directly introduced to DPRK Comrades by my Chinese academic colleagues, and various experts specialising in traditional Chinese cultural activities – many of which are shared with North Korean people during times of specially decreed times of carefully managed interactions – usually in the border areas.
Added to this may be the fact that the DPRK Authorities have now placed their primary news outlet (in both the Korean and English languages – plus others) online:
English – Korean Central News Agency (KCNA)
Korean – Korean Central News Agency (KCNA)
With this development has seen a DPRK internet made available through an online interface. North Korea going online is an important development as it solves the issue of the DPRK being completely isolated and out of touch of genuine scrutiny by Westerners. Without going out of their homes – Westerners can now look directly into the interior of North Korea and see what a beautiful and progressive place it is. Of course, individuals can travel to North Korea, but due to the US (racist) attitude toward North Korea – the process can be long and drawn-out. Why not? North Korea belongs to the Koreans living there – and not those whose people routinely deploy falsehoods and racism towards every North Korean man, woman, and child. This is important as I live near New Malden in the UK – where thousands of South Koreans live. Their children go to school with my children – and I have known many over the years. One thing I learned is that South Korea is a brutal US colony riddled with poverty, rape, and prostitution, etc. Many South Korean children born in the UK possess British Citizenship, and they opt to stay when the business contracts of their parents expire (usually in the car industry) – and they have to leave the country. South Korea is a failed State, and its only hope is the spread of Socialism from the North – following the complete withdrawal of the US military.
On US-controlled social media sites are channels which exist only to racially misrepresent North Korea, its people, and its culture. These channels are NEVER effected by whatever ridiculous changes in terms of services are applied – as the intensity of racist output remains exactly the same. The point is to brain-wash the minds of the American youth – and anyone else reading the fictitious content. The output is cartoonish and buffoonish – making thoroughly racist caricatures of Kim Jong Un and others. North Korean women are portrayed as prostitutes and consumers of this filth are encouraged to use the crime of “rape” as a means to convert their victims to capitalism and consumerism. The lies include Nazi-eques death camps (the reality is that the Koreans suffered terribly under the genocidal fascism of the Imperial Japanese during WWII), and that despite ample farming and animal husbandry – the population is “stsrving” under the evil of Socialism. What is real is that the US applies illegal economic sanctions against the country that is designed to make the population “starve” – so perhaps this is where this lies originate. The truth is that the US, UK and UN invasion of North Korea (1950-1953) was militarily defeated by the North Koreans and Chinese Volunteers. This is why the US will not sign a Peace Treaty with the DPRK. Like all cowardly entities, the US likes to distort the thinking of its youth and demonise the reality of another country the ideologues in the White House know nothing about!
