Ah, I see that you do post. Sorry for the confusion.
I look at a specific number of posts, either by poster or subject, and I
have not remembered your posts.
Excellent article on Propaganda at Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Coincidentally, it has a North Korean Poster at the top of the page.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda Can you tell us what it says?
Regretfully, my understanding of non-English languages is nil, I mean no
offense by my request, I am just curious if you can read it.

Roughly as follows, and since it takes effort to translate the
manga histronics of the slogans I probably won't do more or
comment more about anything beyond this email unless radio
related.
Top slogan: Against oppression -- a mighty blow i.e., smash US's
oppression of us with a crushing assualt or strike
Bottom: Against castigation -- ruthless beating, i.e., merciless
punishment for the way we are derided and treated.
These are Chinese character derived so although simple syllables
are saturated with varied meanings that cannot be simply
translated into another language except Chinese or Japanese..
By the way, North Koreans live and breathe these slogans. They
fervently believe them and will gladly die for them, especially
the troops and average person. .
