North Korea Playing Trump Like a Violin: Their Propaganda Machine Now in High Gear

A successful second summit, or another flop

North and South Korea at Midnight

(Who is the most-advanced?)

If this headline is any indicator, then Flop-Two brewing:

“Chilling Atmosphere: North Korea Blames DEMS and Intelligence Agencies Just Like Trump”

HANOI (Reuters) - North Korea’s state media criticized Democrats and American intelligence officials for “…chilling the atmosphere 

ahead of Kim Jong-Un & Trump’s second summit.”

Specifics:

After weeks of silence about the summit in Hanoi, Vietnam, NK’s state-run news agency, KCNA, announced Kim’s departure by train en route to the talks aimed to build on a commitment to rid the Korean peninsula of nuclear weapons – presumably reached at their first meeting in Singapore last June (but never put into action).

KCNA later issued a commentary arguing that if Trump listened to skeptics at home (e.g., the DEMS and his 17 Intelligence Agencies) that he “…could face a shattered dream and miss the rare historic opportunity to improve relations with North Korea.”

The KCNA commentary was released under the name Jong Hyon also said: “The Democratic Party of the U.S. and other opponents to the negotiations move overtly and covertly to disrupt them as supported by skepticism backed by all sorts of groundless stories and misinformation even at such a crucial moment as now, and Trump’s opponents would bear the responsibility if the summit failed to achieve results, which would leave the U.S. people exposed to security threats.”

NOTEWORTHY: Some parts of the North Korean statement appear to perfectly echo Trump’s own talking points wherein he always blames former President Barack Obama for taking the two countries to the brink (and Trump saving us from that), and for trusting our intelligence agencies (which NK says is full of lies).

Of course the NK side is always full of honest angels from above, right?

(Scores of laughter now welcome).

My 2 cents: Knowing North Korea the way I do and the many times I have dealt with them in the past (I served there from 1979-1992) and earlier as an adviser in HQ ROKMC, I can say with 100% certainty that this kind of announcement is routine raw North Korean propaganda.

Notice how they blast people not even involved in process (the DEMS and former President Obama) and insult our 17 Intelligence Agencies just like Trump does (almost daily).

This is how NK operates: They turn ourselves against ourselves and in such a pitiful obvious way.

I ask Trump loyalists: Who does Trump serve and represent? Putin and Russian interests and Kim and North Korean interests, or our democratic values, our professional agencies, and the American public?

That question seems murkier with each passing day with Trump in office, doesn’t it? Yes, it does without any doubt.

“Art of Deal” Trump will profess. Ha – more like his “Art of the Con.”

Trump needs to issue a statement right now and disavow that from North Korea, and the sooner the better. 

But, I bet Trump will not dispute this North Korean stunt.

Thanks for stopping by.
