Jayu Joseon Group Says” Greater Acts Lie in Store” After North Korea Embassy Raid

If I was this group I would keep a very low profile because I would not be surprised if the Kim regime is plotting to give their leadership the Kim Jong-nam treatment:

Adrian Hong Chang

A political group that claimed responsibility for a raid on the North Korean embassy in Madrid last month announced on Thursday it will temporarily cease all activities, but said it will eventually shake the North’s Kim Jong-un regime “to its roots.”

Free Joseon, also known as Cheollima Civil Defense, defined itself in a statement released on its website as an international group composed of North Korean refugees around the world mobilized under the “conviction to break [North Korea’s] dynastic succession under the Kim family.” 

Adding that it had no links to North Korean defectors residing in the South, whose activities are monitored by Seoul, the group also asked international media to stop paying attention to its structure and members for security reasons, since “greater acts lie in store.”

A Spanish High Court investigation report released on Wednesday said 10 assailants from Free Joseon stormed the North’s embassy in Madrid on Feb. 22. Armed with knives and fake guns, the group allegedly stole computers and pen drives reportedly containing sensitive information before successfully escaping to the United States.

Court papers named the mastermind behind the attack as Mexican citizen Adrian Hong Chang, a longtime figure in North Korea-related activist circles in the United States. Upon returning to the United States after the successful raid, Hong apparently tried to offer the information he obtained to FBI officials. It remains unclear whether the FBI accepted the offer, but the State Department denied the U.S. government had any ties to the group on Wednesday. According to Reuters on Thursday, an FBI investigation into the raid is currently in the works.

Hong is said to be one of the co-founders of the North Korea refugee support group LiNK, or Liberty in North Korea, and the head of a strategic consulting firm called Pegasus Strategies LLC, which he described in a published article as a company that uses modern technology to “penetrate closed societies and empower people in those nations.”

You could make the case that disruptive groups like this are false flag organizations. After all, they are giving cover to the norks…

Previous Korean Presidents would probably have either hired him or had him dumped into the waters off the Liancourt Rocks in a bag full of raccoons. Or the Korean equivalent.

One red Interpol notice and it’s all over for these Partisans. Stupid. Stupid.

An older very experienced cop once asked me if I knew who committed the greatest crime in the world. With a fresh Criminal Justice degree under my belt I was embarrassed to say I didn’t know. He said none of us do because…

Whoever did it, never talks about it.

Cops, investigators, prosecutors alike all know 99% of criminals are caught because…they talk about it.
