South Korea is Not Part of the United States!

By using American names for areas of South Korea with U.S. military installations, is Washington trying to turn that country into a kind of U.S. colony? According to this 'commentary' from North Korea's state-run Korean News, this 'a bid to permanently Americanize south Korea and numb its consciousness to national independence.'

Pyongyang: A spokesman for the Northern Headquarters of the Special Committee Probing the Truth of GI Crimes in a statement on Tuesday, vehemently denounced the United States for its accursed crime of giving American names to places in south Korea, even though they already have their own Korean names. Ever since its occupation of south Korea, the U.S. has staged the farce of instructing the American intelligence services to call areas with its military installations by the names of areas with similar geographical features in the U.S. The statement went on:

The U.S. has since called its military bases on the eastern and western tips of Korea in Kyongsang and Jolla Provinces, "Florida" and "Hawaii," just as Florida and Hawaii are located at the eastern and western ends of the U.S. It has also called a military base in Pusan "Camp Hialeah," after Hialeah in Florida.

It is deplorable that some areas of south Korea, which host U.S. military bases, are still called "Camp Casey" and "Camp Walker" and so on, which are the names of the devilish homicidal generals of U.S. forces, who became infamous in the last Korean war.

This is a brazen act aimed at infusing U.S. worship and U.S. phobia into the minds of south Koreans, in a bid to permanently Americanize south Korea and numb its consciousness to national independence.

Koreans will never remain onlookers to the criminal acts of the Yankees. They will never accept the usurpation of the names of their native places, which have been bequeathed to them by their ancestors, and they have defended, generation after generation. This is a matter of sovereignty, dignity and the living soul of their nation.

The U.S. imperialist aggressors should never forget that no matter how hard they work to implant American names, south Korea can never become part of the United States. To expect otherwise is nothing but a pipe dream.

Don't South Koreans refer to Cheju as the "Hawaii of Korea"? I'm not sure how internal American nicknames for places is an attack on Korean whatever.

[mateomiguel]

just once in my life I'd like to speak to someone who actually talks and thinks like this. It would be a breathtaking experience to remain rational and calm in the face of such powerful propaganda in human form.

Is there someone I can call to set something like that up?

[On the other hand]

The funniest thing about the artile is the writer's assumption that the US really wants Koreans to refer to these places as "Florida" and "Hawaii".

Oh, and this was rather amusing as well...

North Korea needs to be informed of the other similar plots to assimilate the Korean territory: Lotte World (those darm Japanese-Brits), Everland (those darn creatures from fairy tales), and the Olympic stadium (don't get me started about the ancient Greeks).

I don't suppose the Norks are all that thrilled that the president's home is called the Blue House either.

Hmm.. why is the representative for North Korea in the picture wearing a suit and tie-- shouldn't he be wearing a hanbok instead of those accursed fashions of the decadent western running dogs?

The sad thing about this crap is that this is what is spoon-fed to the North Korean inmates/population day-in and day-out.

Just look at the wild and crazy frenzy free South Koreans worked themselves into over a speedskating race (Ohno) and then imagine how this shit (Americans rename parts of the great holy peninsula) must be received up yonder.

frightening.

would almost makes islamodroids seem logical.....Axis of Evil indeed.
