The poster says so!

While on the subject of North Korea, the latest in Korean finger pointing and point scoring is the bizarre and ridiculous claim by CIA-funded propaganda mouthpiece Radio Free Asia that a 'brand new' North Korean propaganda poster clearly proves that DPR Korea really did sink the Cheonan. As many North Korean-focused blogs are reporting:

Radio Free Asia based its report on an interview with the businessman, who took the photo of the poster on a recent trip to North Korea. The poster is shown on the RFA Korean Web site. The RFA did not specify the date the photo was taken but, citing unnamed sources, said it was likely the poster was made after the Cheonan sinking to encourage military heroism among North Korean soldiers.

The RFA quoted the Chinese businessman as saying, “Officials in North Korea have claimed that the South Korean government’s accusation of North Korea as the culprit in the Cheonan incident is a false charge, but the propaganda poster showing the breaking of a ship in two pieces seems to conflict with their claim.”

The RFA also cited a North Korean defector who said a rumor circulated within the North Korean military after the Cheonan sinking that “the heroic navy landed a blow.”

Despite an indirect condemnation by the UN Security Council Friday, North Korea is reiterating its claim of innocence. The state-run Korean Central News Agency reported Tuesday that the country remains resolute in digging out the truth behind the Cheonan incident.

Much needless speculation has been mulled over whether the ship depicted in this poster is the Cheonan or not. However, a collector of North Korean propaganda posters has come out saying that it is not a new poster nor is it a picture of Cheonan as it had been created by the Baekho Art Studio of Pyongyang many years ago. Much ado about nothing! Just wait until Radio Free Asia sees the DPR Korean poster showing missiles destroying Congress in Washington!
