I agree. As soon as mass realize that they live in hell and have been lied to for all these years, the regime will be gone.

I heard a story about a young N. Korean refugee. After he escaped to S. Korea, he found out that Kim Jong-il was not born in the sacred mountain of Baekdu, but Soviet military camp ground in Siberia. That alone made him angry. Just the simple fact that Kim's birth myth is a lie was a significant shock to him.

Now that would be a great term paper (and something the National War College or the various intelligence agencies would love to read), although I am sure it is already out there:

"HARNESSING MODERN COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE OVERTHROW OF HERMETICALLY-SEALED DICTATORSHIPS"

Could there be mass suicides in the DPRK in the future?

Mass lethargy?

A 180-degree turn toward and embracing various vices in the West, such as drug use, prostitution, gambling, financial corruption, organized crime?

I am always wondering what Post-Kim, Post KWP North Korea will look like. It will be as if 30 million people are suddenly taken off their cocaine habit and go into DT withdrawls, or suddenly told their God-like cult leader is dead and they are now free to leave the religion and determine their own way.

The mental adaptation to sudden freedom will be a challenge, considering the extremes this current regime imposes on the human mind and free will.
