Report from Sankei (Japanese) newspaper (conservative) coming in today (per link).
Said that a number of hand made circulars have been circulating widely around North Korea (Pyongyang, Nampo, Chonjin, Sinuiju), etc. The flyers are by an underground anti-Kim Jong-il group active in North Korea.
Sankei says they support the defector Hwang Jang Yop, who is now in South Korea.
There are several flyers which counter the common DPRK Party myths and deifications about Kim Jong-il, showing Kim as a spoiled aristocrat rather that a man of the people, with the Russian nickname "Yura" who did not even grow up nor was born in North Korea. Driving wedges between Kim and the starving people, commenting on the rich food he eats while people starve. Saying the "Chuche" Ideology of the North is a big farce which merely enslaves the Korean people. Another underground flyer (again hand written and many copies run off) that is making the rounds in North Korea says "Kim Jong-il killed his father Kim il-Sung".
Sankei reports the North Korean Secret Police is mobilizing in an attempt to find out who is doing this. They have re-instituted/re-fortified a civilian registration system in Pyongyang to track citizens with an eye toward cracking down on this type of subversion. The flyers also contain detailed personal information on Kim Jong-il that only those in select positions would know. Accordingly, north Korean defectors theorize that these flyers are gaining some cooperation from some people in positions of power in the NK military or Party (anti-Kim elements emerging?).
Copies of these flyers have been spotted (or made it out to) China and picked up by sources there.

Yeah, but that is Haiti, land of the voodoo.....no such worries in North Korea. Hahahahaha!
Don't forget castro!
My gut feeling is that we did this...
The answer in Iran as well. Along with B2s hitting the top 100 mullahs at home some night.

Huh, Secret Police?!?! North Korea?
No way, not in this communist paradise. I just won't believe it.
(paging Eleanor Clift, your commie paradise ain't so nice after all)

Few people are that brave. God bless their cause.
I got hold of a long magazine article on this very subject more than a two weeks ago. Translation seems too much of a work. So regrettably I sat on it.:) Good thing that you got it out.
The opinion of me and those in credible S. Korean media(not pro-government mouthpiece) is that this could be an American-run subversion operation mounted across the border, out of China. With China looking the other way.
As you must be aware, Hwang Jang-yop's personal secretary, Kim Duk-hong, disclosed, a few months ago, that he keeps in contact with a dissident network inside N. Korea, who had been distributing anti-Kim Jong-il leaflets in many places of N. Korea. Now we have verification to his claim.
I remember nothing else from the movie...except the name and face of LONG DUCK DONG. :)
Alright rack ittt
Let see he having bad year
His wife died
Team America release
Dubya got reelect LOL!
Yeahhh rack that old school story LOLOLOL!!
I personally doubt that the Chinese would permit a covert operation with significant American participation to be based in China, let alone one which is American-run.
But the Chinese government is certainly aware of what is going on, and tolerates it even if they're not directly involved. I think they are directly involved to some extent - how much is speculation.
Nodong just means worker or laborer in Korean -- you know, the old "working class hero" line.
Somewhere, within the last couple of weeks, I read/heard (probably on local radio) about the language classes being taught down at Ft. Huachucha (sp?) down in southern Arizona. You'd think they would be teaching all the Arabic they could. But they're not. They're teaching all the Korean possibly can. I do remember that this was from someone who is local down in that area.
Of course, the NGOs have probably been running people in and out of there. And mini radios are coming up (if they are not already deployed). China looks the other way, but they probably don't catch other things going on. Bunch of things coming down. It's fun to see the effect. They certainly are beside themselves. 50 places in Pyongyang alone got hit with these flyers. The flyers EQUALLY charge KIM JONG IL AND KIM IL SUNG as being tyrants who screwed the people under their foolish "Chuche" ideology. Pretty bold stuff. Let's hope nobody gets burned or caught--but sadly, probably some will and will be executed or tortured. The price of freedom.
chotto!
Bump..keep us posted...
Not a good few weeks for Kim. His favorite whore dies, his candidate loses the US election, he gets an unflattering portrayl in Team America, his pictures are being taken down, and now these fliers.
He must be feeling very ronry right about now.
Maybe he's on a binge and the underlings are taking advantage of it.
This does look like North Korea's last winter unless the Chinese do a repeat within 6-9 months of what they did in 1951.
That really jumped out at me. The Chinese could just overrun North Korea and install the puppet of their choice. Their military hasn't had much to do for awhile. They see the US military getting a lot of valuable experience. Kim has become an embarrassment. Wouldn't the Chinese love to turn North Korea economically into another South Korea that they control? Hasn't Korea historically been dominated by China anyway? The more I think about it, the likelier this seems to get. I hope you are right.
