Thanks for the post.

It was the horrible food shortages which originally started the fall of the Soviet Empire. We need to send satellite transmissions over there showing Americans stuffing their faces at those great Tennessee buffets or people looking at which steaks to choose from the tray at a Ruth Chris Steak House.

Well I’ll be, it sounds like fat people will be useful for the first time in a long time.

IMO,a much more effective mover would be to transmit TV and radio signals from *South* Korea to ordinary North Koreans.As "Michael81Dus" (a German) knows from personal experience the fact that many ordinary East Germans were able to listen to/watch West German radio and TV played a *huge* role in the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Seeing how South Koreans live day to day (through TV and radio broadcasts) would be far more powerful for their North Korean cousins to see than any photos from this country would be.
