US Military Issues Alert After Discovering North Korean Propaganda On American Bases

U.S. Forces Korea, a sub-unified command of the United States Pacific Command, has issued a warning to servicemembers on the Korean Peninsula to stay vigilant for “insider threats” after North Korean propaganda surfaced on American military bases.

According to Stripes.com, the 8th Army reported that a “significant number of North Korean propaganda leaflets and CDs” were found at Seoul’s Yongsan Garrison, on Thursday. This prompted military officials to release a Facebook alert, warning US soldiers to “maintain situational awareness,” since a number of foreign nationals have access to US military bases, which they could be viewed as “potential insider threats.”

“Given the number of foreign nationals with access to our military installations via employment, sponsorship and partnership programs, the potential for insider threats is always a reality,” the alert said. “It is essential for our personnel to report all [propaganda] and suspicious individuals to the appropriate authorities to help mitigate potential threats.”

According to Public Radio International, North Korean propaganda is nothing new in the South. Since 2015, more than 2 million North Korean propaganda leaflets have been found in Seoul, the capital and regional provinces near the DMZ. It’s suspected that North Korea’s military uses primitive balloons with timing devices to float the literature over the DMZ into the South. In March, a group of hikers found a trove of North Korean propaganda leaflets on the foothills of Seoul’s Gwanak Mountain; as shown below:

This leaflet depicts South Korean leader Park Geun-hy cowering atop the presidential Blue House.

North Koreans severely dislike Defense Secretary James Mattis, as he flies above South Korean officials “Stirring Up Nuclear War.”

According to Public Radio International, both North and South Koreas have waged an infowar on one another since the 1950s. “Pictures have also been shared recently on South Korean social media showing recovered flyers. Some of those include depictions of President Donald Trump and refer to him as an “old beast lunatic” — an insult North Korea has in the past translated as “dotard.”

In the past, both Koreas dropped subversive material into each other’s territory with the intent of inciting insurrection or defection. The tactic has been used ever since the 1950-53 Korean War, when American forces sent millions of anti-Communist flyers into the North, according to the book “Bury The Enemy With Leaflets.”

While hardly surprising that the information war continues, it is concerning that North Korean propaganda ended up in a South Korean US military base even if it will have zero actual impact. What is more troubling is the question who put it there, and whether North Korea has spies, moles and potentially saboteurs, inside South Korea military forces.

The Syrian Arab Republic Baathist Army will be victorious ! reporting the truth !!! http://www.smoloko.com globalism=freemasonry=jews’-multiculturalism =judaism http://www.smoloko.com https://theuglytruth.wordpress.com/2017/03/27/france-mossad-tried-to-infiltrate-french-intelligence-services/ http://www.unz.com http://www.islamicinvitationturkey... holywar.org vigilantcirizen.com islamicinvitationturkey.com purestream-media.com syriatruths.com informationclearinghouse.info electronicintifada.net http://www.12160.info to fight and resist the evil zionists ZOG ,the evil zionists rothschild’s evil israHell and and the evil house of saud crypto-jews in saudi arabia wahhabia who do nothing but damage ( who’s king in the late 1960’s addressed all the UN and arab countries requested them to recognize and accept israHell as a country) and their allies’s control/occupation of governments and the arab land of palestine and its neighbouring arab countries, to fight and resist those zionists is to fight to remove them from governments and economic power without removing them out of these office from these positions and freezing their USD currency assets monopoly dominanting global markets and trades( the 1 dollar bill has shapes of the stars of david ) wars instigated by zionists bankers on sovereignt independent states and and against their territory’s integrity will continue and the zionists’s scheme to establish a one global government control could be all set .

they must be removed from these positons (by us who are fighting them and only by us ) in order to get international peace progress prosperity and a good better and more positive dialogue between all countries and their peoples who their own peoples will lead and decide what to do by and for themselves. manage what their internal and foreign affairs to other countries and people’s would be and not led by some private zionists’s monopoly organisation who wages wars on whoever they want and on behalf of whoever they control and whoever bans rothschild influence and rothschild’s-controlled banks into their country!

should such a future international peace progress proccess dialoge between countires is to be then israHell turkey saudi arabia eritrea/ethiopia and pkk-rojava-peshmerga-kurdistan could be excluded because of their evil role of their tyranny and the logic of them even not being officialy recognised as countries (or maybe even by then they would already cease to exist before that) but rather occupiers of stolen lands by wars of aggression who occupy arab Palestine land and other neighbouring arab countries’s lands and their natural resources assets illegally from wars of aggression like e.g. Yemen and Somalia afghanistan with daesh and AQAP muslim-brotherhood-extremists and taliban and other plots of the the mossadistic so called “alliance of periphery” with their puppet collaborators alCIAda and MI6 .

all of Western Sahara and its people will be freed from the corrupt dynasty government of morocco’s illegal occupation which has a long history of collaborating with the zionists’s mossad and will be a recognised country by all nations ( hassan II and the mossad were behind Mehdi Ben Barka’s dissapperance / kidnap / assassination ! the jewish autonomous oblast isn’t enough for the evil zionists’s obssesion of world domination conquest . . History wasn’t written in ink , history was written in blood

You’d think some US soldiers would collect these for fun. I can’t think of any other reason, as I doubt 99.9% of them can read Korean, and I doubt that even if they could it would be that subversively effective. As it is the Norks are not only decades behind the West in weapons technology, they are also decades behind in modern propaganda. They should copy ISIS in online propaganda, not waste time and resources with balloons and paper pamphlets.

Rex drabble

Their missiles arent decades behind,dont fool yourself.

Barba_Papa

Of course they are decades behind. The US, China, Russia, the UK, France and Israel got ICBM’s for decades already. Don’t know about Indian and Pakistani missile capabilities, but I reckon they don’t need to hit anything beyond each other.

I believe you need to remember saker analysis about north korea terrain, that make guerilla warfare is best thing to do and make even WW2 weapon still useful in kind warfare, and remember again guerilla warfare is only way to defeat america successfully like vietnam, afghanistan, and iraq where they never admit their defeat when in reality rice farmer and goat herder kick their ass hard

Icarus Tanović

I mean, what they’d expected? Koreans have always been hostile towards America. That’s just there that hatrrd for very very long time.
