Whoah. I think it may be true- our ambassador has been spreading radios all over Cuba and Castro is having an enormous fit. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we- and Japan- are thinking of doing this for the North Koreans if we are doing it in Cuba.
Kim Jong Il both despises and is deathly afraid of.... the TRUTH.
Cuba Protests 'Subversive' U.S. Radio Handouts - April 5, 2002
Ummm...and according to the following story, it is not the US-Gov doing this to NK...
SEOUL, South Korea--As the Pentagon studies moving tons of military hardware within striking range of North Korea, some say the weapon most feared by the Stalinist government there may be a disposable radio the size of a cigarette pack.
"Little throwaway radios, you listen, you throw away--the smaller the better, the more disposable, the better," said Pastor Douglas E. Shin, a Korean-American human rights activist who advocates smuggling thousands of tiny radios capable of receiving foreign broadcasts into the North.
The radio smuggling is part of a growing public and private effort, including foreign radio broadcasts, to crack an information monopoly in the North that has helped keep the Kim family in power for nearly 60 years. So tight is the information blackout that defectors report that they believed that their country--one of the world's poorest--was wealthier than South Korea and that the United States donated rice as a form of tribute to the powerful Communist state.
In January, in a bid to emulate the experience of East Europeans in the cold war, Radio Free Asia and Voice of America doubled their hours of Korean-language broadcasting into North Korea. In February, Radio Free Asia joined Voice of America in broadcasting into North Korea on medium wave, a bandwidth accessible with cheap AM radios.
