North Korean intelligence collection



Beside some interesting meetings and events in the past the North Korean intelligence agencies in Europe – sitting in their embassies or using front companies and international organisations as a cover – have to fight on different subjects: Not only looking for business, special materials and cash flow they have to deal with „imperialistic agents“ and „liars“ from human right groups. Refugees, which are of course „tricked“ into Western countries by the „satan“ in Washington, the media, the „gangster clique“ in Seoul and other bad boys, are travelling around and telling the people stories which are more or less untold inside North Korea. 

As every other country in the world the North Koreans are looking abroad for maybe problems, which can be dissidents, refugees or activists. While Russian intelligence tries to monitor e. g. Greenpeace in Europe (and elsewhere), North Korea looks for people in Europe (and elsewhere) which are interesting for them. This can be family members, which are falling from favour. Some of them suddenly committed suicide or had an accident… In this case there is a special unit inside the North Korean intelligence which is arriving immediately on the scene, recovering assets, cleaning the place and hampering police and intelligence from the guest country to dig deeper.

Additionally the North Korean intelligence agencies have their sympathisers. The intelligence agencies from Israel can rely on their followers all over the world, mostly jewish people, which are doing „research“ for the Mossad due to patriotic or religious or both reasons. Beside money North Korea can offer Juche, their ideology – and there are still enough members of their Friendship Associations which are willing to do the job, instructed by North Korean staff. Last time in Germany it was Hong Son Ok .

Something which makes the North Koreans very angry is the „North Korea Freedom Week in Europe 2013“, especially the demonstration yesterday, 12 October, in front of their embassy in Berlin. Watching the scene beside the small group of protesters it was interesting to observe the observers, which were able to take pictures from  every single person. I don´t say that they were working for the DPRK, but... they raised my suspicion. Aditionally a few CCTV were in action, recording the demonstration, presumably not only from the embassy itself. One can only speculate if the North Koreans are discussing the gathered pictures and information with their Chinese colleagues, not far away from the Glinka Street. And there maybe a few other embassies in Berlin, which are interested in profiling the activists…

Mateusz Piskorski etc.

Ich las im Qualitätsmedium T-Online vor ein paar Tagen über Mateusz Piskorski. Dieser sei in in Polen inhaftiert „wegen Spionage für russische und chinesische Geheimdienste an – er pflegt auch enge Kontakte zu deutschen Politikern“. T-Online habe auch kürzlich „ enthüllt“, dass Piskorski kurz vor seiner Verhaftung „einen Verein mit mehrerenAfD-Politikern in Berlin“ gegründet habe… Ziel des Vereins war es, sogenannte "Wahlbeobachtungsmissionen" in völkerrechtlich umstrittene, aber kremltreue Separatistengebiete zu organisieren und damit russische Außenpolitik zu legitimieren.“ Über diese Berichterstattung kann ich nur müde lächeln: Was hier als tolle Story verkauft wird, ist jedem, der sich ernsthaft und nicht nur je nach politischem Windchen damit beschäftigt, in den meisten Details längst bekannt. Natürlich bedarf es einer gewissen Intensität und Tiefe, was die Recherchen dazu angeht, aber möglicherweise haben die dafür zuständigen Leute etwas verschlafen oder das

How EU and Germany abet Iranian military research

US President Biden's visit to the Middle East has brought to mind an issue that has receded somewhat into the background since the war in Ukraine: the looming threat of a highly armed Iran - along with the option that the regime in Tehran has deployable nuclear weapons. Equally worrying are reports that Russia is being supplied with Iranian military technology, including drones , large numbers of which could be deployed by Russia in Ukraine. Other states are also showing interest in Iranian drones. I take this reporting as an opportunity to draw attention to a report that is aimed in particular at German industry as well as institutions involved in proliferation investigations: In this account, the recent death of an Iranian scientist - presumed to have been the victim of an attack - leads to a network of scientists and experts who conduct their research at an academic institution within the EU. The results of their work also benefit the Iranian military and Iran's nuclear pro

Die sogenannte Letzte Generation....

... war am 23. Mai 2023 das Ziel von Hausdurchsuchungen. Der Vorwurf der zuständigen Behörden lautet, es handele sich um eine kriminelle Vereinigung.  Jenseits der nun laufenden, heftigen Diskussionen wollte ich mir einen ersten und daher auch oberflächlichen quantitativen Eindruck zur Transparenz radikaler oder militanter Umweltaktivisten verschaffen. Diese Darstellung hat den Mangel, dass die Aktivisten von mir nicht räumlich zugeordnet werden. Ich konnte zwar aufgrund ihrer Selbstdarstellung erkennen, dass der überwiegende Teil aus Berlin stammt, jedoch müsste diese Feststellung validiert werden. Ein weiterer Mangel ist sicherlich der recht beliebige Zeitrahmen. Soll bedeuten: Irgendwann letztes Jahr habe ich angefangen, diese Daten zu sammeln. Ich wollte wissen, welche Aktivisten, die namentlich auftreten, welchen Organisationen aus diesem Umfeld zugerechnet werden können. Mit Stand vom 24. Mai 2023 sind es 166 Personen, die ich verschiedenen Organisationen zuordnen konnte. Die Let
