Letter to the DPRK.

STOP ! 

The following missive was sent to the Korean Central New Agency by the author of this weblog on April 11th, 2013 (republished on December 10, 2021)

From a supporter of the DPRK's struggle and survival against USA imperialism,

I urge the DPRK state media services to conduct a systematic counter information campaign aimed at shaping global public opinion. The aim of the campaign should be to expose the fact that the United States is only playing poker. They have no intention of attacking first, their intention is to provoke the DPRK to fire first so that then they can say the DPRK started the war. The Western media is promoting war hysteria with the intention of bluffing the North Koreans into surrender. It is a form of psychological operations conducted through the media and diplomacy. A similar tactic has been used against Venezuela, Lybia, Syria and Iran.

Like Iran and Venezuela, the DPRK has a right to launch satellites. The DPRK has as much right as any other nation to develop its aerospace technologies. 

The United States has no right of ownership over orbital space.

You are now fighting a hybrid 5G information war. Conventional agitprop techniques from the 20th century developed to counter the so-called "Western Objective Free Press" (sic.) do not work in the current context. The Western media conglomerate of the 21st Century operates on the premise that "branding defines culture" and consequenltly, its news meta-narrative has been simplified to soundbytes. 

DPRK media must fight fire with fire.

Radical Socialists must do what they can on social media networks and the blogosphere to support your struggle against United States imperialism!

Sincerely,

Manuel X
