Refreshing Propoganda

The totalitarian regime in North Korea is fueled by two factors, fear of outside military attack, and a constant brainwashing. In addition to the schools and every social institution, the message of conformity to the government will is relentless. Due to a number of factors the population is a hairs breadth from starvation at all times. (ok, it's the US military they fear, and trade sanctions keep them in a backwards economic state).

I was thinking about what you could do to convey the notion of intellectual freedom to a people who fear that you will take away the ragged vestiges of dignity that communism has allowed them. They have their own music and movies on this theme, their own state news. Anything that we broadcast, even music without words is seen as attempts to bring down their society. If communism collapsed in N. Korea millions would likely die in the process. Whatever we do must be gentile, compassionate.

My idea is to simply record all of the state run media, edit out all government statements and music with overtly militant and fear inspiring themes and then insert good quality weather forecasts, farming information, disease prevention, and a good healthy dose of positive and flattering pieces about how amazing it is that N. Korea is doing what it is doing. This last bit may seem a bit dishonest. pause. consider the actual level of self sacrifice and willpower required to keep this place working. Other people stole and bribed cheated under the same circumstances but the people of N Korea have held true to some values even while their government has not. I can praise that.

Then broadcast it nice and strong and clear 24 hours a day. Never ever provide anything that could even hint at any motive but helping out everyman. Make it so innocuous that even hardened government officials can listen to it. Do it for them. Then wait.
