Defending the DPRK against False Propaganda - notes on the Sigley case

                               

After nearly 9 months the so-called ' Australian student' Alek Sigley has come out with a string of slanders against People's Korea allegedly among other things that he was arrested simply for photographing a toy tank !!!. These stories have been plastered across different mainstream media outlets across the Western world.
One basic fact is ignored . Sigley was in the DPRK as a student , his Visa permitted him to stay in the DPRK for the purpose of study not to engage in journalistic activities but he instead abused the hospitality of the DPRK by writing articles for the notorious CIA linked "NKNews " . There are many foreign students in Pyongyang . In fact a member of KFA Spain studied in the DPRK . Also in April 2019 our delegation met Swedish students studying in the DPRK and also Vietnamese and Chinese students . None of them got arrested and deported !
The story about photographing the toy tank which has been produced after nearly 9 months is probably aimed to cover up what Sigley really got up in Pyongyang . It is also scarcely believable that any DPRK official would use words such as "your sorry arse " . One day the truth about Mr Sigley was really doing in Pyongyang will come out.
As to the idea that Sigley was just writing 'neutral ' or 'apolitical ' articles , this is not true. Sigley slandered the socialist system of the DPRK by talking about 'the emerging middle class' and 'elite ' in the DPRK . This is a sneaky CIA type liberal post modernist slander against Juche socialism . There is no "middle class ' in People's Korea, there are workers , farmers ,intellectuals and soldiers . Nor is there an elite . Everyone is provided with homes free of charge by the state . When you go to Pyongyang and the rest of the DPRK you do not see big house or mansions nor do you see run down sink estates . There are no big differentials in income in the DPRK . The irony is that Sigley himself is from the elite in the capitalist word. We have many UK KFA members who would love to have the chance to travel to the DPRK , in fact they dream of it but could not afford to do so , yet Sigley could afford to and even have his own travel company
Sigley on twitter got excited with the DPRK-US summits and inter-Korean summits , wrongly believing that this meant that the DPRK was giving up the struggle , writing that the DPRK had taken down anti US posters . Of course he was wrong but that shows the real hand of Sigley . He wanted the DPRK to give up the struggle against imperialism and become a puppet of the imperialists . Sigley said he wanted the DPRK to 'open up ' and 'reform ' , in other words to give up Juche-based socialism and adopt capitalism . Well Mr Sigley socialism in the DPRK was built at immense sacrifice and effort by the Korean people and they are not going to let you or anyone else destroy it . The people of the DPRK do not want to become like the people of the former USSR and East Germany , this is not "xenophobia ', it is defending socialism and Juche
