Korean Christians Send Propaganda Balloons to North Korea

I guess the Korean Christians didn’t get the memo that they were supposed to stop sending leaflets into North Korea:

A group of North Korean defectors said they had flown a fresh batch of anti-Pyongyang propaganda leaflets over the border, a move considered highly provocative by the communist state.

Lee Min-Bok, who leads a group of North Korean Christians, said they sent 1.5 million leaflets into the North Friday from Baekryeong island near the inter-Korean border in the Yellow Sea.

“We sent a total of 1.5 million leaflets carried by 26 helium balloons into the North on Friday,” Lee of the North Korea Christian Association told journalists.

Plastic bags, which contained daily necessities such as socks, stockings, toothpaste, toothbrushes, aspirin, ball-point pens and cigarette lighters, were also floated on sea currents flowing north, he said.

“We had favourable weather conditions this month,” Lee said, adding the group had scattered millions of such leaflets in December by taking advantage of winds blowing north.

“We’re sending these leaflets for the purpose of evangelizing North Koreans and rescuing them,” he said.  [AFP]

Using sea currents to send plastic bags filled with necessities is actually quite another clever move by these human rights groups that is sure to further piss off the North Korean regime.  So how long will it be before the useful idiots come out to confront this group as well?

    Gosh that's really touching. I hope a lot of North Koreans dare to pick up the material and check out the content.

    Hopefully it will get them thinking..

    I hope North Korea won't counteract by forbidding people going to the shores and pick this up.
