In Pyongyang, the capital city of the DPRK, there is a modern factory specializing in producing notebooks for children and students from kindergartens to universities across the country.

It is the Mindulle Notebook Factory known as a treasure factory throughout the country.

The factory has increased its annual production capacity from 50 million volumes in the early days of its operation to 150 million volumes. It produces various kinds of books including notebooks according to subjects, homework notebooks, diary books and parent-contact memo-books.

As there are scenes of Korean cartoons suited to children’s mind and interesting puzzles in the covers of notebooks, all children and students like to use the notebooks.

The Mindulle Notebook Factory was built on the direct initiative and under the meticulous guidance of the respected Comrade General Secretary Kim Jong Un.

DPRK: Military Miracles Performed During Fatherland Liberation War [1950-1953]! (28.6.2026)

The Fatherland Liberation War (June 25, 1950-July 27, 1953) was a war in which the DPRK (founded on September 9, 1948) honourably defended its freedom and independence of the country from the aggression of the imperialist allied forces headed by the U.S. imperialists.

The war, which can be called a confrontation between a rifle and A-bomb, witnessed military miracles unprecedented in the history of world wars thanks to the outstanding military ideas, Juche-oriented war tactics and superb strategy and tactics of President Kim Il Sung.

Liberation of Seoul, the Stronghold of the Enemy, in Just Three Days through Immediate Counterattack

The fate of the war depends on how to cope with the sudden large-scale aggression of the enemy.

The history of world wars records those countries which suffered repeated defeats as they failed to respond to the enemies’ aggression in time even though they had strong military muscle.

DPRK: Giorgia Meloni – Prime Minister of Italy – Dismisses Absurd Trump Criticism! (23.6.2026)

I came across this odd little article on an Italian-language (Telegram) channel – a straight translation from the original Korean into Italian. As the Korean News in the North is flexible and dynamic – not all stories make it into English translation – so I need to be vigilant. I thought this is interesting as Trump’s usual denial of just how unpopular he is seems to be fraying around the edges!

80 000 Wooden Blocks of Complete Collection of Buddhist Scriptures

DPRK: Buddhist Sutras on Display! (17.6.2026)

On a slightly different note, there was an English man called “Stephen Bachelor” who travelled to South Korea and joined a Buddhist monastic order. Indeed, I believe he eventually met the woman who would become his wife – at the time a Buddhist “nun”. Upon returning to the UK he established a Buddhist College in Devon – but as the years went by he started to describe himself as an “atheist” who do not believe in any form of religion or mysticism. He even banned Buddha statues from his meditation rooms – and when my teacher – Richard Hunn – was invited to teach, he also banned all incense. Of course, Buddhism is not a religion with the Buddha being described as “non-theist” (he said gods only seem to exist until believers realise they are non-existent). Yes – monotheism was unknown in the Buddha’s time – so it is interesting to consider what exactly it was that Mr Bachelor was reacting to? Did he think Buddhism was a religion – and the Buddha a god? Is this what they were teaching in South Korea?

One of the US bases in Okinawa lies at the heart of Ginowan city

Okinawa: US Military Crimes Continue on Occupied Island! (16.6.2026)

US soldiers, regardless of skin-colour, are “racist” in that they are trained by the US education system to view Asians as being racially inferior. Furthermore, The Japanese, being equally “racist” – view Okinawans as second-class citizens as many of them are of ethnic Chinese origination (Okinawa used to be a tributary State of the Chinese empire) – and this is why the US is permitted to retain a military base on Okinawa. The Japanese do not care what happened to the Okinawans – and the US do not care what they do to the Okinawan people.

Shin Sang-ok Choi & Eun-hee - Defection or Kidnap?

DPRK: Assessing the Bizarre “Kidnap” Stories Aimed At Korea! (14.6.2026)

14/06/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Whatever the case, and I definitely do not condone kidnapping of any kind, it is recorded that Interpol investigated these allegations and declared that there were no such undertakings – in other words – North Korea had not kidnapped anyone. Despite this finding, stories, films, documentaries, and journals not only repeat these stories – supposedly offering evidence – but also expand the operations of this tiny half-country to supposedly include kidnapping people from Romania (a Socialist country) and even Lebanon. I once saw a BBC documentary that filmed Japanese women in Korea being transported back to Japan – supposedly after kidnap. I later discovered this was nothing of the sort. These were descendants of Japanese invaders who were looked after by Koreans when the Imperial Japanese Army fled the liberating Soviet Red Army at the end of WWII – leaving their babies and children behind. This demonstrates just how dangerous the lying bourgeois mind is. After-all, the same deranged mind-set permitted the “Black and White Minstrel Show” to be broadcast on the BBC between 1957-1978 – supposedly in support of Black rights and diversity.
